Hello, we are planning to be in Tuscany Dec 14-27, and we have some flexibility with out schedule. The current plan is to arrive in Florence (by train), spend one night, then pick up rental car and explore with stops in Siena/Montepulciano/Volterra/Lucca, back to Florence for Dec 23-27. Will wineries/shops/restaurants be open? What is the best way to find out about holiday hours? Is this a reasonable period of time to explore the smaller towns or should we return to Florence sooner?
I work in the wine industry and am very excited to visit wineries! However, we are travelers who love to get to know the local community and have more "small town" experiences off the beaten path, especially when they involve good food and delightful conversation. I welcome any suggestions!
