On this week’s Tuscan Treasures with Cinque Terre we loved having Melissa Shanks of Cruise Planners and her group join the tour. From their home base in the charming, historic spa town of Montecatini Terme they explored the gems of Tuscany and discovered the enchanting fishing villages of the Cinque Terre. These pictures are from last night at Castello di Verrazzano, an organic “agritourismo” estate producing excellent wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Of course, they then got to taste the wares at a delicious family style dinner at the castle. 🏰🍷 https://lnkd.in/eVzb-2ZG #italy #tourgroup #tuscany #cruiseplanners #zeneriteam

We can make a difference together!
