Festa di Vino! (part 1)

We set out for Chianti this morning at 8 AM. We had a beautiful bus ride through the rolling Tuscan hills, and arrived in Greve in less than an hour! We explored the local mercato which sold everything from fruits and veggies to beautiful leather purses and underwear! Greve is a charming town...it was the perfect place to explore on a Saturday morning.
We found the main Piazza where the wine festival was going to take place, and it promptly began to rain! Luckily we were a little prepared...
We had the quintessential Italian breakfast (brioche and cappuccino) and watched them set up the festival while chatting and sketching.

On to the vino!!
