BMW Tuscany Drive and TT - Summer 2008

Enough of the drama on the highway. As we continued along A1 Autostrada we saw this small village near Cetona. That was just the beginning.

As we are approaching Montepulciano things are getting more interesting. This is where great wines and olive oil come from.

The elevation is gradually getting higher and higher. By now, we are almost 500 feet above sea level.

Another Tuscan landscape view.

There is a signboard near San Regolo which says "Agriturismo" (something like homestay concept with agriculture theme). So, we took a right turn on to the gravel road to check out the place.

The arrival of the E46. Check out the 20% gradient signboard.

Olive tree and grapevine living side by side under the Tuscan sun.

Close up shot of an olive. Olive oil is very sacred here in Italy. Never say bad things about olive oil.

Great storytelling... great pics... Waiting for more!!!

 

[funfer_fahrer]

With slightly more than 3/4 tank, we were blessed with 710 km to run. That's the beauty of turbo diesel engine. Let's venture deeper into the heart of Tuscany.

 

[funfer_fahrer]

We saw rows and rows of vineyards.




One after another.




And more vineyards.

 

[funfer_fahrer]

...which brought us to a very old farmhouse.




...in the middle of a huge vineyard!

 

[funfer_fahrer]

Near the farmhouse, there's a 24-inch wheel..



...and a nice cool place for doggie.

 

[funfer_fahrer]

He was thinking of Ribena. Seriously.
