9AM (or your preferred time), you will be collected at Livorno port by your driver and luxury Mercedes. Next port of call- wine country! You will begin your day in Chianti, Italy’s most famous and wine region. Your tour will begin with a visit of the main living room of the villa and the gardens, then visit the vineyards, historic winery and modern winery, followed by a private tasting of four estate wines including Sterpato, Varramista Chianti, and the much-lauded Frasca. Enjoy!
Sit back and relax as you have an hour drive. On to Castello del Terriccio, one of Italy’s most prestigious wineries, located in the Northern Maremma. You will be famished and so we have an outstanding lunch waiting for you to begin your Terriccio wine experience. Expect a convivial feast that will include food and wine pairings such as Goats cheese on roasted radicchio with balsamic vinegar and nuts paired with the Con Vento wine, Pesto lasagne with zucchini paired with Tassinaia, Terriccio's chicken breast roll (stuffed with prosciutto crudo, ham and Tuscan cheese) paired with Lupicaia 2001 and homemade yogurt ice-cream with strawberry sauce and amaretti – all washed down with Café and the Grappa di Lupicaia. Molto buono!
After lunch, tour this beautiful estate by 4X4 with your glamorous hosts and learn all about their winemaking philosophy as well as the region of Maremma. In the late afternoon, your driver will take you back to your cruise. Depending on what time you need to be back, we can arrange for some sightseeing, for example to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And this concludes your fabulous wine tasting shore excursion from Livorno. We look forward to seeing you again!

Customer Feedback:
“Juste un petit mot pour vous dire que nous avons adoré notre journée et c'étais surtout pour moi et mon mari, une des plus belle journée de notre séjour. Voici mes commentaires en anglais. Beconcin was was something else!!! Very small winery, but so nice and friendly and beautiful!!! The owners were so very nice. I was so impressed how hard they work and how they do it. Finally, for the lunch inside the house, AMAZING. We learned a lot from the wine tasting, the food was great, the company was great. The old mother in the kitchen, preparing the food (like you see in movies). This, I would recommend to anyone. We will buy her wine from her contacts in Canada. We wish them all the best for all the good work they put into their wines. As for the vehicle, we couldn't ask for any better, nice Mercedes van. The driver was fluent in English and also very nice and helpful. He brought us to Pisa after the wine tour. I would recommend Cellar tours to anyone. Thank you again for a very nice tour. ”
