Siena >> it is one of Zhanna's favorite places in Tuscany. I was there when I was in my 20's and happened to go to Siena instead of Florence. It's has this amazing feel and you wouldn't regret it if you have a day trip there. Side note, for those who don't eat mean will end up eating it there

Greve & Radda in Chianti
Deep into the Chianti region and ideal for a day trip, these two little towns offer a unique experience, discovering the places where people devote their lifes to produce one of the best wines in the world. Highly advised to rent a car, however organized tours are possible. Get ready for a ride though an unexpected forest while climbing the hills, and be prepared for amazing view when the woods open up.
A lot of wineries are on the way and you can enjoy the famous "Finocchiona" and "Cinta Senese" salami at the Antica Macelleria Falorni.
