wow
Hey, hi from Austin, TX. My wife and I were in Florence for the second time this last May. Was glad to see you both visited some of the places we did (same winery and San Gimignano) At the hotel restaurant on the other side of the river up on the outdoor patio, (Loggia Roof Bar)you both sat at the exact table we did. Small world. Also our daughter and her husband live in NYC and wife and I enjoy getting to look around thru your camera. Enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.
Absolutely beautiful area, loved the video! Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through your videos!!
I think you're the kindest, most appreciative, and respectful travelers I've ever seen. If we could all be like you, the world would be a betterr place.
That is so nice thank you!
You guys explored & experienced Tuscany so well! Thanks for sharing the amazing video.
Rachel Ray has the most jaw-dropping home in Tuscany. Have you seen it? I think you can find it on CZcams. Everything about it just looks like a dream!
Dana, we absolutely love your vlogs and truly want to thank you for the excellent content and delivery. You inspired us to research, plan and prepare efficiently. In OCT 2022 we did from Rome to Pasteum with stays in Pompei and Sorrento and visits to AMALFI, CAPRI and POSITANO. The trip and excursions were so great that we are back in Italy again following your guidance from ROME all around TUSCANY, 5/22 - 6/1/2023.
Wonderful vacation, so gorgeous. Thanks. Really relax total.
Love love love your vlogs! Beautifully done!
I can’t wait to see your next Florence Video. Love this Tuscany one as well. Happy travels
Hi Apelila, thank you so much! Can't wait to share and thank you for always commenting and supporting!
Dana, it was so awesome seeing you in Positano after our time in Venice! We finished up in Rome for 5 days so we didn't make Tuscany on this trip but your video is amazing and we can't wait to visit this beautiful part of the country when we return next year. As always, your vlog is all about the place and not all about 'you'! It's informative, sensible, fun, and helps us all fall in love with the world one little video at a time through your eyes. So glad you had a great time, and as I said in Positano, 'thanks for the videos' !
This was SO helpful! I have been absolutely loving your vlogs :D
Such an incredible destination. Tuscany never gets old. From the beauty of Maremma to the rolling hills of Val d'Orcia, Tuscany is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate hearts and souls. With each visit, the enchantment of this extraordinary region deepens, leaving an indelible imprint on all who have the privilege of experiencing its wonders. Great insight ! Thank you for reminding 💋🍷💋#TheWineSiren how much I love this destination!
Wow Dana those springs are beautiful enjoy your traveling and explore those amazing places for all of us to see ❤️💋
This makes me so excited to see Italy 🇮🇹
Yes, you are going to love it!
We loved Montepulciano! They filmed part of Twilight there in the square and when we visited they were filming Medici. Also had the best steak we’ve ever had in a restaurant next to the square! Such a beautiful town!
Everything looks so relaxing
It truly was so relaxing and the rolling hills were quite a sight to see honestly. There was something so calming about being in the country.
So cool to see you & Al with Nicki & Carlo! Really enjoying the updates from both channels!
Hi Michelle, yes it was a pleasure to meet Carlo and spend time with Nicki again! Looking forward to next year!
Stunning...!!
Yes! We rent and drive in Tuscany. Val d''Orcia was our May trip. Cooler, which is good for me.
Such a magical spot in the world. My husband I went and bought 28 bottles and we had to buy a wine fridge after that too :) Lots of Brunellos to have in 25+ years.
Dana I’m so proud of you! I saw you with Nikki in Positano. She took out time to point out your well deserved popularity. I saw your vlog in Las Vegas. Loved the look . LV becomes you. Tuscany is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Maddie! Yes, I had a lovely time seeing Nicki while in Positano and we decided to hang out again and vlog together. We met for the first time in 2019 after Elizabeth introduced us and we spent the day on the boat and went to Capri for the day.
@@DanaBerez If you have a chance to go to Venice I can connect to a couple of friends who have a tour company in Venice and they vlog Venice Authentico. Look them up. Glad you were able to spend time with Nikki and Elizabeth.
Maddie ❤️
My boyfriend and I are flying to Italy for our 2 week vacation in September. Watching all your videos make me so excited. Everything is stunning!
That is awesome! It's going to be amazing!
ahhh...I've found my person! I love this place - obsessed with Cyprus trees and wines - everything in Tuscany!
Awesome video! Planning myself a trip to Tuscany later this year and yours has been very, very helpful . For sure we’ll be having dinner in Bagno Viogni!
I love your videos...so informative.....We will be in Florence on July 8-11...then Pienza from July 11-14...finally 3 days in Positano....Can't wait!!!!
Thank you so much Ray! This is very similar to my itinerary and I have a Florence video and a Positano video coming very soon! Stay tuned and have an amazing trip!
I know the area well. Your guy is such a lucky guy . Dana, you are lovely and such an excellent overview of the area’s attractions. Well done
Wow how beautiful is Tuscany ! You certainly packed a lot into your 4 days, but looked so peaceful & relaxing. Come the Fall when you open a bottle of the wine you shipped I do hope it revives the memories of this wonderful trip. Looking forward already to seeing the next leg of your Italian adventure :)
Yes, we definitely did a lot in the 4 days that we were there. Luckily, with careful planning we stayed in a centrally located area and it was just perfect. I am so looking forward to receiving the wine and reliving the summer in Tuscany!
This was beautiful 🍷 Italy wow, food, wine scenery I’ve been to Sienna but unfortunately didn’t get to any wineries.
Nice to see you both relaxing in Positano with the Blue Star family and Niki cheers 🥂 🇮🇹
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, it was so beautiful and I would highly recommend checking out some of the wineries. It's always lovely to spend time with Nicki and the Blue Star family.
Gorgeous!
Can’t wait to watch x
Yes, I hope you enjoy!
Sold! Thank you for this
Any time!
Beautiful😍 Love your videos. It was so nice to see you with Nikki in Positano.🌺
Thank you so much!! Yes, it's always lovely to see Nicki, the last time we met was in 2019 and we spent the day in Capri.
I’m going in April! This looks lovely and thank you for the video.
You’re welcome 😊
Beautiful dress. Thanks for sharing the tips.
My pleasure 😊
Loved loved this…Tuscany is so beautiful. I hope to get there soon. Special shout out to you guys for the coordinating outfits. 😀 totally loved…

Thank you! That is so funny that you noticed this Cynthia. Sometimes we do coordinate especially if we wear white it just looks so classy!
Aww thank you!
Love the video! Thank you for making it. We are headed here this fall, so it was very helpful. I am wondering if your nisolo sandals fit true to your normal size? SIlly question but I love them!
Hi Dana, came over from seeing you on Niki & Carlos rom Positano. Loved your beautiful video. My husband & I were doing our bucket list to Europe, in 2019. Well, you know what happened that year. Love from 🇺🇸 👍🏻💕
Hi Lana, thank you for coming over! I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
Hi Dana, I live in Rome and when I need some rest and relax....I go there in Val d'Orcia!!!!! it's not far for me and very very relaxing!!!!! you made great choises starting from the agriturismo, and for the cities you visited: amazing 4 days in Tuscany ♥ love all the winery
It is totally the perfect place to relax, so I can see why you would do this. Yes, agriturismo is such a great way to have an authentic experience while in Tuscany.
What are your favorite winery’s in this region?!
So Beautifull Sharing 🥰
Thank you so much! Glad to share my experiences with you!
Thank you for all the great info and sharing your lovely travels. We are headed there next year and would love to know where you got that map of the wineries in Montalcino?!
Great video. So interesting 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi, I love your video and it was very helpful. I’m going in March of next year and we are going to Pienza, Montalciano and Montelpulciano and I was wondering which town is the best to stay in?
il migliore 👍🏼
Hello love your videos! We are going to Tuscany this summer - Would you mind clarifying, what is the most popular winery that was booked out a month in advance? Might try and get in early!
Fantastico il video , baci dalla Toscana
The wife and I are headed to Italy in October. Watched your video...very helpful. In the early part of the video, you were looking at a map of wineries. Where did you get that map? Something I can download? Oh, at one stop where you had a full meal...Bagno Vignoni....we will be staying there for 3 nights while doing the Tuscany area.
Great video and super informative! Thank you !
May I know in which month did you travel here ? We will traveling in the month of September and just wanted to compare how it looks in those months 😀
Loved the video!! Didn’t quite catch the name of the brand of your sandals. Mind sharing again? Would love to get those for my honeymoon to Italy! ☺️
💝 perfect how beautiful definitely on my list xxx
It is so stunning! You would love it
Nicki Positano brought me here
Me too!🌻
Yay! Hope you enjoy! Glad to have you along
Glad to have you along!
Love this video! We are heading here next month! Did you find you had to make dinner reservations before your trip or ahead of time! Thanks and love your videos!
Thanks so much! We only had to make reservations ahead of time the week of specifically for June.
wow
Thank you!
Omg this vlog is EVERYTHING ! Absolutely gorgeous ! My husband and I are going to Tuscany for our honeymoon and this vid is hyping me up lol what city did you end up renting your car from ?
Thank you! I rented with Europe Car (liked them, no complaints) also they had a drop off location in a small town in Tuscany, I didn't want to drive to a busy place like Florence.. Also, it was the last company that had an automatic car. I would book that WAY in advance.
Hi Dana! I love your videos & content. Can you plz tell me where did you rent the car from and where did you drop it off? I’m going crazy!!
Love your video, how do you get the wine home?
Hi Dana,
Great video. we are planning a trip to Italy in late October of 2023 and are planning on staying in Montepulciano for four nights. We were just wondering where you pick up and dropped off your rental car from. we will be driving down from Florence and are concerned about driving in the city. Thanks.
I'm planning a trip to the area and your videos are so wonderful and informative. The only thing is I don't really drink so I wish there were more suggestions for other activities. Thank you for the beautiful videos!
Hi Mayana, thank you for the feedback! There are many options of activities to do when in Tuscany. You can bike around the region, e-bike, visit the villages and surrounding towns.
Lastly, these videos are personal trips and vacations and that I kindly share on the internet! I do hope you find at least one helpful thing from my videos that I put out for free on the channel.
Thanks again for watching and the feedback and have a blessed day!
@@DanaBerez Your videos are amazing and super informative and I hope I didn't
offend you.
My 2 favourite utube hanging out together ❤️❤️
Where did you rent the car from and in what city did you pick it up from? We'll be in Rome before heading to Tuscany so we were trying to figure out where we should pick up our rental car from and drop it off before heading to Florence afterwards .
If anyone has an extra day south of tuscany or near the border with Umbria, Viterbo is another gem worth visiting
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤😊😊
What was the vineyard that’s booked months away?
Loved this Dana! I have just come across after watching you on Nikki Positano. My hubby & I have been to these places & are going back next year 👏🏼👏🏼 can I ask where you got the wine tasting list & map? Off to binge watch a few more videos 😛💕
Hi Kerrie! Thank you you for coming over it was lovely seeing Nicki again after a few years. Our host from the Agriturismo provided them to us upon check in.
@@DanaBerez thankyou for replying, I’ll make sure to ask when we get there.
Also what were the costs of the wine tours you did and did you need to reserve in advance? Or can you just show up? This has been the best video ever seen so far on CZcams! Thank you.
Hello this video is so helpful. We have an up coming trip to italy. Coming from Rome we will head to Tuscany. Would like to know where did you get your rental car from? And returning it to?
So from Rome we will go stay 2 nights in Tuscany and then to Florence. And yes we only wanted to drive in countryside and not in big city. Thank you
How do you find a place to stay on the farms in Tuscany? Do you have a link? Thanksss❤
Awesome video. What was the name of the working farm in Tuscany? Thanks
What a great vlog! My sister and I want to take my mom there soon. Did you find the roads to be very hilly? I can drive manual but get nervous on steep hills haha.
Not at all I did not find it in the area we stayed in. There are hills but they are not steep, many people actually bike the roads so it would not be very easy to bike on a steep road.
I would love to know where you rented your car? We are wanting to find a rental in Tuscany but am not sure if that is possible?
Hey thanks for the video, can you name the rental car company and the city you returning it? We fly to Italy next month and will appreciate this info 😊
Uhmm, how did you drive after wine tasting? I am looking to see if we have something close to Siena.
jus wonder does the water smell bad or jus normal?
This video makes me want to visit Tuscany so bad, I love all the info in each of your videos. How do you fly back home with all the wine bottles? Do you take them as carry ons?
Hi Vivianna! Thank you for watching. You will have to check your luggage if there is wine. The good thing about that is that there is no limit on how many bottles you can take with you if you check it, as many as can fit.
@@DanaBerez super helpful thanks so much💓
Nice
Hello Dana, I love your video!! We are going to be in Tuscany this September, and we are staying outside Montalcino We want to rent a car but I don’t know where can I do it. Where did you rent your car? And where did you return it? I am very excited about our trip. Also, what websites or books did you use to find those great vineyards and restaurants?
Thanks :)
SO awesome! We rented through Europecar. They have lots of pick up and drop off points! We picked up after our cruise in Civitavecchia and dropped it in Chiusi where we then took the train to Florence and continued our trip! We got a map at our place where we stayed and just used his reccomendations!
Is it possible to go wine tasting and go out for lunch and drink wine and drive after?
Hi, what are the names of the wineries you went to?
Love this! Which company did you rent your car from?
Thanks so much Stef. We booked it on Europecar as it was the last place that had an automatic vehicle available.
What is the closest international airport to Tuscany?
Hi! Amazing video! Try to see the name of the hotel?
Where did you get that map with all the wineries and details for calling ahead??

Hi Dana :) My husband and I are going to Italy in May and one of our stops is Tuscany. You mentioned getting an Italian SIM card for your phone. Is there any different from getting international calling from your cell phones service provider? I live in the US so our provider has an international plan. I was wondering if the Italian SIM card is cheaper or what the difference might be? Any help with this? Thanks so much 😊
Hi Melissa, yes the Italian SIM card is much cheaper and provides better coverage and more importantly and Italian number. You have to make sure your phone is unlocked to use a SIM card or esim.
New subscriber here. Just want to let you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your videos! :D
Aww thank you so much!! That means alot :D
Just got back from Italy. We went to that cute little chapel. Someone slashed one of our tires about 20 times. Beware
Is there any good public transport system to visit this 2 places
There really arent many public transportation systems other than the trains into the towns, after that you are either going to have to rent a car, taxi or bike.
welcome to Tuscany wonderful woman
We are traveling to Rome and Positano next May. It’s our first time traveling to Italy. You mentioned having a SIM card. Would you do an information video on using cell phones, buying euros before we leave the US or waiting until we get to Italy, and anything else that would be helpful to know? Thank you!!
Hi Lindy, May is a great time to visit the south of Italy! We have been twice before this month and it is warm during the day and slightly cooler at night.
Yes, I can most certainly look into making a video on Italy travel tips. In the meantime, I would highly recommend buying Euros ahead of time especially if you can take advantage of good exchange rates as close to 1:1 as possible.
For the SIM card, we started using local SIM cards in our international travels recently and we cannot go back. It makes such a difference in your experience, especially with the logistics such as directions, reservations, cancellations, and data. You need to have an unlocked phone or buy a cheap unlocked phone in your destination and they will set it up for you and you need to show your passport. We use TIM when we travel to Italy and you can find TIM stores in major italian cities and at the airport.
@@DanaBerez thank you for your reply!!
what us the name of the winery you couldn't get into ?
How did you get all the wine home?
Checked luggage for the ones I bought in person and the rest will be shipped to me.
What month was this trip ?
June
I lived in Italy for 3 years
Glad to hear it!
Hello,your videos are do helpful thank you so much!!can you tell me where you stayed at Tuscany and where to rent a car please🙏
Hi Cindy, everything is in this exact video and be sure to check the description box. Thank you!
Hey great video! How did you get the contact information for the wineries in the area? I'm going to Italy soon and contacting them in advance was a great tip.
Our host gave us a map with the winieries and phone numbers. It's probably online if you look at Montalcino winery map, and Montepulicano Winery map. Honestly I just called a few to see which ones had openings!
@@DanaBerez Great! Thanks for the tip.
Good. Useful information but I was disappointed you did not indicate the pricing in the restaurants.
Roger, Canada
Too funny 😂 You finally made it on Nicki Positano’s channel! I thought you were going to be arrested for stalking. How many years have you been chasing Elizabeth and Nicki?
The fact that you think I was stalking people is quite hilarious. I’ve known Elizabeth and Nicki personally since 2019 😂
I follow you and Nicki both. Over the years I would see you in the background of her videos. I didn’t mean you were literally stalking them. It was just a comical moment. Thanks for the giggle 🤭.
I love your videos about Tuscany and Italy. Are you two a couple? I don’t see any affection, just an observation
