Greve in Chianti

Enjoyed a good night's sleep and woke up to a beautiful Tuscan landscape, which is sprinkled with olive orchards and vineyards. Kay gave us a tour of the property and quick crash course on olive harvesting (as we will be helping the Bouchards with their olive harvest this week).

Then we headed into Greve, which is not more than 5 minutes down the road. There we explored the piazza and helped Kay buy last minute supplies for the harvest.



After the Bouchard family headed to Portugal for the weekend, we walked the grounds with Pogo. Right before going back into the house we caught him red-handed sneaking a snack from the compost pile again!


After Kate reprimanded him, he apologized... And Kate gave in. How could she resist?!


Relaxed for awhile, and later walked back into town to check out an enoteca Kay recommended. There we purchased a card that allowed us to select and try different wines from the area. We sampled over 15 wines and 1 limoncello.

Came back to the house, relaxed some more and made dinner.
