Join Butch in exploring remote villages, century-old vineyards, colorful markets and award-winning restaurants. Butch’s established relationships will take you into the tasting rooms, homes, and sometimes barns and garages of passionate, local winemakers and chefs.

From experiencing the bustling market of San Gimignano, meeting a charming vintner or the proprietor of an olive grove, to receiving a personal cooking course in a cottage set among the vines, every turn is filled with discovery and delight.
