So, somewhat last minute trip to Italy planned with only flights booked so far. Wife and I are flying into MXP (from NYC), arriving Friday Morning October 14. Tentative plan is as follows:

After arriving, heading to Castel Boglione for 2 nights (this is the only scheduled portion of the trip, visiting a winery for work and staying on the property in a guest house).

Tentative plan is to then travel to Tuscany (10/16) for 4 nights and then on to Venice (10/20) for 4 nights, heading home from VCE on the 24th.

Great local food is a priority, and while we do want to take as much in as we can, we're not looking to cram everything in on one trip. The goal is to enjoy ourselves and relax without worrying about checking things off our to do list/worry about getting to the next destination. Plan is to rent a car from Milan and return it on our way to or in Venice.

Usually a planner, but a lot going on and not much time to plan this one out. Any and all suggestions on restaurants, sights and/or places to stay would be greatly appreciated!
