Guided Tour in English

Bolgheri Wine Tour

Bolgheri is the land where the Supertuscan IGT bland was born in 1968. This “terroir”, to use a French word, made the luck of a few wine-producing estates. The more famous wineries have regular visiting hours on fixed days of each week (Monday to Friday) and charge an admission fee. All wineries are usually closed during the grape harvest.

Highlights

Full day tour with English speaking driver.
Discover 2 quality wineries in Bolgheri wine region
Wine tasting of Ornellaia, and Le Macchiole Super Tuscan wines.
Gourmet lunch at the Enoteca San Guido with Sassicaia wine pairing.

Wine Tour Description

This tour starts early in the morning from Florence. Bolgheri is a small wine region, sets south of Livorno on the Tyrrhenian coast. The journey will be 2 hours long and we will be driving on the highway.

The stop at the 2 wineries also includes an excursion into the vineyards and the cellars. The visit will be conducted in English by the staff of the cellars themselves. In the end, you will gather around a table in the elegant wine tasting room to taste the best Bolgheri wines production.

Usually, this tour includes two wineries chosen from the following list: Argentiera, Ornellaia, Le Macchiole, Grattamacco, Guado al Tasso, Campo alla Sughera, and Franco Chiappini. You can also ask to have included in the tour the Ornellaia cellar.

Warning!

The Ornellaia winery must be booked far in advance of the tour date. When Ornellaia is not available, the company books Guado al Tasso or Le Macchiole which are two wineries of the same level.

Sassicaia is a label of an important winery named Tenuta San Guido, please notice that this cellar is not open to the public. DO NOT ask us to have a wine tour in there. What we can do is to make a reservation at their gourmet restaurant Enoteca San Guido with a special menu with a wine pairing with Sassicaia.

From November 2020 till March 2021 Ornellaia and Guado al Tasso will be closed and not available for wine tasting. Also, the restaurant Enoteca San Guido will be closed from November 1st till March 2021

We booked the private 1-day super Tuscans trip with a tasting menu and it was great. Matteo is extremely friendly and knowledgable on wines so if you are a wine lover, you will learn a lot and enjoy very much. Its a long drive from Florence so I would suggest staying closer to Bolgheri but none the less it was a great experience

Our tour guide Giovanni picked us up from our hotel and he was just so kind and enthusiastic about what he does! We gave us the history of wine and of Tuscany and was very very knowledgeable! He was super patient when some things ran long- and he even stopped to bring us on the way back to show us a view of Florence as he knew we weren’t visiting for long! He was just so exceptional and passionate about what he does and he made it such an amazing and memorable experience for us and for our honeymoon!

We did this Bolgheri wine day tour with the knowledgeable, interesting, and fun Vittorio. We went to the lovely family-owned vineyard called Chiappini and also Guado al Tasso vineyard. We learned a lot about tasting and super Tuscans even though our knowledge level was already relatively high. Vittorio shared a great deal of info and also took us for an incredible meal at the Sassicaia estate where we had an amazing wine there to compare to the others we had tried. He was a great host and it was a trip to remember!

Memorable Tour in Bolgheri! We were picked up promptly at our cruise ship in Livorno and wished to the Bolgheri area of Tuscany. Our guide did an excellent job to giving us the history of the area and viticultural how it differs from the rest of Tuscany. We stopped at Ornellaia, Osteria San Guido Enoteca that serves as a tasting venue for Sassicaia and at and a small winery Guado de Gemoli. Ornellia was the highlight since the property is so beautiful and the wines so delicious (not unlike Peter Michael Winery in Napa Valley). The mean at Osteria San Guido Enoteca was really first class as were the Sassicaia wines we tasted. The tour took about four hours and we were taken back to our ship in plenty time. Memorable Wine Tour of Bolgheri! I recommend it and our guide to anyone who wants to see a great area of Tuscany!
