Description

 

Explore a Land Where Wine is in the Blood

 

For centuries Tuscany has been regarded as one of the world’s great wine‑producing regions, and with good reason. Nowhere is that reputation more vividly on display than in and around the town of Bolgheri, where a windswept stretch of coastal vineyards give rise to the “Super Tuscans” - bold, Bordeaux‑inspired reds that redefined the landscape of Italian winemaking in the 20th century. On this exclusive tour we’ll discover how this corner of Tuscany proved uniquely suited to Gallic grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot: a unique combination of French elegance and Italian terroir that has shaped some of the most prestigious vintages on the planet.

 

Discover the Superb Scenery of the Maremma

 

Alongside your private English‑speaking driver-guide, you’ll spend the day exploring the enchanting landscape of the Maremma, a region celebrated both for its exceptional wines and breathtaking views. On our way to the vineyards we’ll be traversing quiet country roads that wind past silvery olive groves and sun-kissed rows of cypresses spectacularly sited between rolling hills and the sparkling Tyrrhenian sea. 

But there’s much more to this tour than just pretty scenery! On your day amidst the vineyards you’ll get to visit two renowned local wineries, each offering its own interpretation of Bolgheri’s famed “Super Tuscan” style. Explore atmospheric cellars, observe oak barrels quietly maturing their contents, and learn all about the complex mix of art and science that goes into every bottle. Of course, we’ll be tasting the finished product too: sample wines that speak of sea breezes, mineral‑rich soils, and centuries of winemaking heritage - all in the company of the expert producers who crafted them.

 

Visit Beautiful Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci

 

We’ll need some good food to go with our wine, and so on our Bolgheri tour we’ll be stopping off for lunch in an authentic local restaurant where you’ll get to sample regional dishes that celebrate the very best of Tuscan produce. 

Between tastings, stretch your legs in the picture‑perfect villages of Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, whose honey‑toned stone buildings and narrow, cobbled lanes are quintissentially Tuscan. Enter Bolgheri through its iconic cypress-lined avenue, a stunning path that leads to the medieval castle and the heart of the historic center. Take a stroll along cobblestoned streets lined with ancient churches and elegant dwellings adorned with vibrant geraniums. Stop off in its artisan shops and wine cellars, and encounter rich layers of history in a series of impressive landmarks.

From Bolgheri, your tour continues to Castagneto Carducci, just 15 minutes away. This charming hilltop village offers breathtaking panoramic views, narrow streets, historic churches and the childhood home of Giosuè Carducci, the first Italian winner of the Nobel prize for literature. Here, the salty sea breeze mingles with the scents of the countryside, adding a unique coastal charm to the village’s timeless atmosphere.

 

Stop off at an Enoteca to Bring Some Bottles Home

 

Before heading home, you’ll have the chance to stop at select enotecas recommended by your driver guide to hand‑pick bottles you won’t find anywhere else. As you settle back into your luxury vehicle for the return drive through sun‑drenched landscapes sculpted by centuries of human care and nature’s hand alike, you’ll carry with you memories of a region where history, hospitality, and wine come together to produce something truly unforgettable.
