Private Luxury Wine Tasting Shore Excursions from Livorno
Livorno is one of the major ports of call in Tuscany and we have designed this absolutely fantastic full day wine tour for those looking for a luxury shore excursion. We have included two of the best wineries in Tuscany for you- one in romantic Chianti and the other in coastal Northern Maremma so you can taste a range of Sangiovese based wines and Super Tuscans. You will see some lovely vineyard scenery and enjoy 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 the most picturesque in Italy. Varramista is famous in Italy as apart from fine wine, the owners are the Piaggio’s (designers and manufacturers 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 4X4 of the lush vineyards and you will have a deliciously prepared 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 and luxurious wine-touring day excursion in Tuscany you will never forget.
