What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through rolling Tuscan countryside to reach the Bolgheri estate area. After arriving, expect a guided walk through the vineyards—the sommelier will explain how maritime air affects the grapes and wine character. You'll spend time in two separate cellars tasting wines and learning production methods. Mid-tour, explore Bolgheri's quiet cobblestone lanes, ducking into family-run wine shops and workshop studios. Lunch happens at a local spot serving seasonal dishes and regional wines. The return journey to Florence takes roughly 90 minutes.
