If Italy is the king of wine in Europe, then Tuscany is the jewel in its crown.
Tracy Hyde is our on-site staff person for the Tuscany Untour. She is also our cooking teacher for UnTours at Home Virtual Events, with a loyal following of Zoom students. But better still, she is a wine expert and recommends these Tuscan wines.
