About this tour
Your personal driver meets you at Livorno's cruise terminal and spends the day navigating you through Bolgheri's celebrated wine country. This eight-hour private tour takes in two distinguished wineries in the DOC region, each offering tastings alongside regional food pairings. A three-course Maremma lunch and sommelier guidance bookend the experience. You'll see the Etruscan coastline, archipelago views, and rolling vineyard terrain from an air-conditioned car. Return to your ship guaranteed one hour before departure.
Highlights
- Two DOC Bolgheri wineries with sommelier-led tastings

What to expect
Your guide collects you dockside and settles you into a comfortable, air-conditioned car. The drive to Bolgheri offers coastal scenery and island vistas. At the first winery, expect a walk through the cellars followed by tasting several wines with small local foods. The second winery follows a similar pattern with different selections and producers. Between visits, you'll enjoy a proper sit-down lunch with three courses, shared bottles of DOC wine, and coffee. The guide—who knows Bolgheri intimately and holds sommelier credentials—explains the vineyard philosophy and winemaking approach throughout.
Good to know
Guides are certified sommeliers and locals with genuine knowledge of the region. Return transport to the port is assured with a one-hour buffer before your ship departs. Children under two can sit on laps; infant seats available on request. The tour is not suited to non-drinkers, as wine tasting forms the core experience.
