Experimenting with non-indigenous varieties from Bordeaux, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Bolgheri gained a fame of its own. Once stigmatized, its qualitative wines are reputed today. It is your chance to break the mold in the wine tasting world!
Get ready for an amazing day tour to discover some of the best mold-breaking Tuscan wines. Explore the world of Bolgheri and see what it takes to make the prestigious Super Tuscan wines. At first, these wines were blamed for their unconventional, bold blend of grape varieties that were not indigenous to Italy. Later on, their quality was recognized and the rules actually changed to suit them!
This fantastic tour includes visits to two wineries, where you will have a guided tour of the estate, from the grapes in the vines to the finished bottles in the cellar. During the wine tasting, you will taste a wide palette of wines.
Spend a full day touring the unique Bolgheri wine area in the comfort of the provided vehicle and enjoy the drive along the cypress-lined Via Bolgherese.

First winery
The estate, situated in Castagneto Carducci, dates back to 1698. The territory is sheltered by chains of hills. The proximity to the sea favours the production of great wines. Due to this aspect, Bolgheri is twinned with the city of Bordeaux. Here you will tour the vineyards, the farm and wine cellars and understand the family’s wine philosophy. The pinnacle of the visit is a complex wine tasting of their signature wines.
Second Winery
As this tour is all about gaining in-depth knowledge about the universe of the Super Tuscan wines, here you will have the chance to learn and taste more top-quality wine, accompanied by some traditional snacks. This is a well-rounded experience, following the same pattern of a guided tour around the property.
