Heading to Verona for a month in the fall. Will spend a few days in Milan first. We have been to both places before and enjoyed a lively itinerary. Hoping to slow down this trip. Be intentional. We've seen a lot of the main attractions in Milan. Ideas for how to spend our time this time around? I'd love to do a wine tasting in Milan--not spend a half day to journey to a winery. Any ideas?

Probably the easiest wine tasting option would be finding an enoteca running one in Milan. This enoteca is a chain (I've encountered them in Torino), but the selection is decent, and it seemed lively for tasting / drinking when I went in. I've linked to their events page.

Others will also do organised tastings, perhaps advertised on their webpage, perhaps on facebook. In addition, most enoteche will have a range of wines open on any given day, so it's absolutely possible to go in and try different wines, and get chatting to the staff about the wines, especially when it's quieter, as they might appreciate being able to chat about the wines / wine in general. Indeed I recall one in Bologna saying that if we'd have a glass each of it, they'd open any bottle on the shelves.
I find google maps a good start point to identify nearby enoteche and start to separate the wine shops from the wine bars (though many are both, and a good number also serve very tasty food, often pleasingly less substantial than restaurants, making them a good way to eat out without eating big meal upon big meal)

I don’t know if you would be interested, but the synagogue in Milan is very interesting and has a fascinating tour.
