The enchanting village of Bolgheri is located right on the south coast of Tuscany in the so called “Costa degli Etruschi” . Protected by a pinewood forest from the saltiness of the sea, the wine region of Bolgheri is covered by vineyards settled in a superb microclimate. Bolgheri is the land of some of the most exclusive wines produced worldwide, the home of very smooth Supertuscan blands.

You will visit your first wine estate late morning where an expert guide of the winery will introduce you to the company's traditions through the cellars and with an exclusive wine tasting. Our tour will continue at a local Trattoria to sample the local specialities and a stroll in the town of Bolgheri, situated at the end of a famous boulevard lined up by old cypress trees.

Following another spectacular drive on the south coast will bring you to the enchanting town of Scansano in the Maremma region, one of the most natural and uncontaminated areas of Europe, in the valleys of the Ombrone and Albegna Rivers. The local “Morellino di Scansano” wine owes its properties to the sandy soil and the particular climate of the area. The vineyards benefit from the sea breezes. The wine is made, as other important wines of Tuscany, with a minimum of 85% of Sangiovese grapes, blended with other local grapes as Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Malvasia, Colorino and Alicante.

Your second private tour of a Morellino di Scansano wine estate followed by a wine tasting will help you discover the flavor of these special wines grown up under the sun and protected by the sea winds.

Should you be interested in personalizing the day tour to include specific wineries, we will be glad to tailor the best itinerary to suit and satisfy your wishes.
