About this tour
A six-hour private tour from Livorno into Bolgheri, Tuscany's premier wine region, where Sassicaia and other SuperTuscans are made. A wine expert accompanies you and your group in an air-conditioned minivan, guiding you through the vineyards and estates that define modern Italian winemaking. You'll explore the landscape and learn directly from someone who knows the terroir and producers intimately.

What to expect
You'll be collected from the port and driven inland toward Bolgheri, a compact but serious wine zone. Your guide will take you to working estates, explaining how the region's clay and limestone soils shaped the Sassicaia style that revolutionised Italian wine in the 1970s. You'll walk through vineyards and cellars, hearing stories about specific producers and their methods. This is a touring experience, not a heavy tasting session—though you have the option to taste wines at your own cost (55–85 euros per person, arranged separately). The pace suits all fitness levels; children and infants are welcome, though only those 18+ can participate in tastings.
Good to know
Wine tasting is optional and paid separately. Infant car seats are mandatory; request these when booking. The tour suits mixed-age groups. Allow six hours door-to-door; bring comfortable shoes for vineyard walks. Gratuities aren't included.
