About this tour
Spend 90 minutes tasting five regional Tuscan wines guided by Simone Vergamini, Best Sommelier of Tuscany 2023. Based in Lucca, this tasting unfolds at your accommodation and covers Vernaccia di San Gimignano through Brunello di Montalcino, each paired with local cheese, cured meats, bread and oil. Vergamini sources from small organic producers across five historical wine zones, sharing territory stories and tasting technique. You'll leave with your selections to drink through the holiday.

What to expect
Vergamini starts with tasting fundamentals and the story of each wine region, then walks through five pours—one from Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Chianti Classico, Bolgheri, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino—each with proper glassware and local accompaniments. The focus stays on growers who care about their land. By the end, you'll recognise the differences between regions and have a clearer sense of what you prefer. Everything happens in your room or hotel dining space, unhurried.
