After the tour and some free time, we drove to Trequanda, where we dined and slept in a beautiful farmhouse estate named Fattoria del Colle. There we learned how to cook pici pasta from scratch and were able to taste some of their vineyard's wines.

<p>My name is Kathryn Sommer and I study at Haverford College, a small school right outside of Philadelphia.
