Private full-day Tuscany wine tour from Livorno Port, with chauffeured pickup directly from your cruise ship or hotel. Visit two carefully selected Tuscan wine estates for private tastings and lunch, then return to Livorno in time for your ship. The first is in the Valdarno and Pisan hills, close to San Miniato, and the second on the northern edge of coastal Maremma, so you can taste a range of Chianti, coastal Tuscan reds, and Super Tuscan-style wines. You’ll enjoy lovely vineyard scenery and VIP treatment at the prestigious wine estates you visit. From Livorno, you will first head to Montopoli in Val d’Arno, northeast towards the truffle town of San Miniato. You will be welcomed at the Varramista estate, one of Italy’s most picturesque. Varramista is famous in Italy not only for its fine wine, but also for its long association with the Piaggio and Agnelli families — Piaggio, of course, being the manufacturer of the legendary Vespa scooter.
After Varramista, you will swing back down south, about an hour’s drive to Castellina Marittima to the gorgeous Castello del Terriccio estate, where you won’t just have a wine tour, but a wine experience! Your elegant and friendly hosts will take you on a 4×4 tour of the lush vineyards, and you will enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal paired with their fine wines. In the evening, after a fabulous and exhilarating day of food, wine, scenery, and superb hospitality, you will be dropped back to your cruise ship or hotel in Livorno. This is an exceptional, luxurious wine-touring day excursion in Tuscany that you will always remember.
