About this tour
This 10.5-hour private tour whisks you from Florence to Bolgheri, Tuscany's celebrated wine country, where you'll spend the day at two boutique wineries learning how Super Tuscan wines are made. A certified sommelier guides you through tastings across multiple vintages, then a three-course lunch with views caps the experience. Best for those keen to understand what makes these estates tick, not just sip and move on.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Florence lodging and driven to Bolgheri, arriving mid-morning. At each winery, expect a proper walk-through of cellars and vineyards before sitting down to taste 4–6 wines paired with context about terroir and technique. Lunch happens at one estate's restaurant overlooking the vines; allow two hours for a proper meal. Tastings are unhurried—your sommelier won't rush you through. Bring comfortable shoes for vineyard strolls and be prepared for standing time indoors during barrel rooms and tasting rooms.
Good to know
Minimum age 18 to participate in tastings. Tell your operator about dietary needs beforehand so the kitchen can adjust lunch. You're drinking over eight hours, so pace yourself and eat well. The tour suits any fitness level, though you'll walk a fair bit on vineyard terrain.
