Overview of Bolgheri Wine Tour
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 and 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 as well as the adjacent wine hamlet of Castagneto Carducci) is synonymous with fine wine. Virtually all of the cellars here are exceptional and making 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 arriving at Livorno by cruise or staying in Pisa, as it is an easy one hour drive from each. 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. If you are looking for luxurious food and wine day out in the Bolgheri wine country, contact us for more information on this tour!

Past Clients Testimonals
Ted Deodato, Kingston, Ontario
The tour was well organized, the suppliers were excellent
Both Ornellaia and Petra were superb. The lunch at Ombrone was terrific. The setting, hospitality, and ambiance were perfect. Fantastic food and very warm, welcoming hosts. It was maybe the most enjoyable meal we had during our time in Italy. My grandmother was Sicilian, and every day at work, she would make lunch for my grandfather, father, uncles myself, and my cousins (do you think our business was a family business?). She retired at 92, and lunch has never been the same. Anyway, the food at Ombrone reminded me of her cooking, and I can pay no higher compliment. Our driver was Davide, and a better choice could not have been made. He was very friendly, courteous, patient, and informative. Absolutely would recommend Cellar Tours again, everything was done right.
