Venice to Tuscany by train?
I will be in Venice in early Sept. A friend may join me for part of my trip. My original plan was to be in Venice for 3 nights, then go to Greece for a week. She may only take a week off, so she will probably not be going with me to Greece. I can change my flights and hotels in Greece, so I was thinking of staying a few days longer in Italy.
Is there an area of Italy we could get to by train - winery area - and stay a few days? I would prefer a slightly less popular wine area (prefer to avoid Chianti or any others you think are overrun with tourists). I would prefer not to rent a car. I really like traveling by train. Eventually, I'll need to get to an airport to catch a flight to Greece.
I was trying to find local train schedules from Venice and nothing comes up that goes through central Italy. (I used today or next week for the schedule- just to get an idea of where I could head towards.)
Or - we could visit a winery in the Venice area?
