International Women's Day falls on March 8th, celebrated all over the world.
It's a day to look back at the economic, political and social achievements of women — past, present and future — and also a moment for reflection, and for a little recreation.
If you're in Tuscany, we suggest a cultural and gastronomic day out. Start in Siena with a morning visit to the city, then head to Torciano Winery for a wine tasting lunch among the Tuscan hills. In the afternoon, visit San Gimignano and its majestic medieval towers.
Celebrating Women's Day at home? Just open a bottle of good wine and share it with your girlfriends. For fish dishes, pour a white, fruity wine like Vernaccia Poggioaicieli; if you love strong flavors like meat and cheese, choose a fuller-bodied wine such as Chianti Classico.
The key thing is not to forget the importance of this day — and to have just as much fun in the company of those you love.
