Bolgheri Private Wine Tour from Florence

Bolgheri, Sassicaia country and the Super Tuscan coast.

Tour Overview

Bolgheri is the ultimate wine tour destination for Super Tuscan wine lovers. This is where the Tuscan wine revolution began in the late 1960s and early ’70s, with winery pioneers like Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia leading the way towards a more open-minded, ultra-high-quality approach to winemaking in the region. Today, the Bolgheri wine appellation (Bolgheri DOC, which encompasses wineries in both the village of Bolgheri and the adjacent wine hamlet of Castagneto Carducci) is synonymous with fine wine. Virtually all of the cellars here are exceptional and make award-winning collectible wines. Big names, of course, include Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia, Guado al Tasso, Ornellaia, and Angelo Gaja´s Ca` Marcanda, and smaller cult wine cellars include Michele Satta, Le Macchiole, Podere Sapaio, Grattamacco, and Poggio al Tesoro. The area is beautiful with medieval hamlets and lush countryside, lined with cypress trees and olive groves. The weather is also fabulous due to its proximity to the coast in Southern Tuscany.
We have designed this unique day excursion in the Bolgheri wine country for guests in Florence, but it can be easily adapted to commence with guests in Livorno by cruise or staying in Pisa, as it is an easy one-hour drive from either. You will enjoy VIP winery visits and vineyard tours at two acclaimed estates, followed by an outstanding lunch at the mythical Tenuta San Guido/Sassicaia estate restaurant. Lunch will be a relaxing affair with various courses paired with fine Sassicaia wines.
