Travelling to Europe? We can assist to make your trip that much more enjoyable and most importantly, we can arrange some amazing wine appointments for you. Wine Boy knows some of the best restaurants and hotels in Europe, especially Italy! Whether its a room for 50 euros or a farm house to hotels for 300 euros a night we can suggest some wonderfully unique accommodations.

For example: when visiting Chianti Classico the town of Radda is your most tranquil setting, more importantly, you can stay in the center of the village in very clean apartments which over look the main street (Via Roma) for as little as 50 euros. Or Lago di Garda, stay in the village of Salo, right on the water for as little as 100 euro a night for a double.

When in Siena, do not miss Le Logge, (see below) one of the best restaurants in all of Tuscany. Located in an old chemist shop. It still retains the original interior. Its just off the Campo and the food, service and wine list are marvelous. Ask for Mirco or Laura. Try the fantastic Brunello di Brunelli or the Rosso di Brunello di Brunelli.

When in Panzano, head straight for Enoteca Baldi (in the main square) for lunch and a glass or 2 of wine from their carefully chosen wine list. For dinner, it doesn't get much better than Vescovino. The view is spectacular and food sublime. Turn left after leaving Enoteca Baldi and follow the road to the church, about half-way look to your left, you'll see a sign for Vescovino.

There are some people whom brag about traveling the back roads of Italy, ya sure, from their lap top at home. Wine Boy has been travelling the real back roads of Italy (more to do with lack of funds than anything else) for over 20 years. We know all of the best places to stay and where to dine. When we say 'best places' we don't mean dining for 200 euro per person (although we have a few of these on our list) we mean great value, excellent food & service, even if you don't speak the language, and a quiet affordable place to rest your noggin.

We can help and we want to.
