From Florence: Private Bolgheri Wine Tour in Tuscany

Explore Bolgheri from Florence in a private luxury vehicle with an English-speaking wine expert guide and premium winery tastings.

Getting started

Begin your day in Florence at the designated departure point, reached on your own from your accommodation. Meet your expert English-speaking wine guide and board your private luxury vehicle stocked with bottled water. Once everyone is ready, you will leave the city and drive toward the Tuscan coast in the direction of Bolgheri.

What to expect

Viale dei Cipressi and Tuscan coastal drive

Travel along the Tuscan coast toward Bolgheri, a village reached via the iconic Viale dei Cipressi. This long, straight avenue lined with cypress trees sets the tone for the Bolgheri wine region and its estates.

Features

• From your private luxury vehicle, you follow the Viale dei Cipressi, taking in the landscape that has made Bolgheri and its surroundings a reference point for Tuscan wines.
• An English-speaking wine expert guide travels with you, using the journey to introduce the Bolgheri area, its coastal terroir, and what sets its estates and wine styles apart.
• Bottled water is provided in the vehicle, and all fuel, parking, and taxes are included for a seamless transfer to and from Bolgheri.

Two premium wineries

Arrive at two premium wineries in the Bolgheri area, where the focus is on guided tastings and a closer look at local production. Each stop gives you time to explore the estate settings and understand how the wines you sample are made.

Features

• A guided visit to two premium wineries is included, so you do not need to arrange tastings on your own and can rely on pre-booked private sessions at each estate.
• During the private tastings, you sample fine tastings along with bruschette, olive oil, and local delicacies, getting a sense of Bolgheri’s products through paired bites and regional specialties.
• Your English-speaking wine expert guide is present to translate vineyard and cellar details into clear explanations, helping you compare the two estates and their different approaches to Bolgheri wine.

Bolgheri village historic center

After your winery visits, the tour continues into Bolgheri village itself. The historic center offers stone lanes, small shops, and restaurants that show another side of the region beyond the vineyards.

Features

• Join a private walking tour of Bolgheri village, using its streets and squares to understand how the historic center grew alongside the surrounding estates.
• Free time in Bolgheri for lunch or shopping is built into the schedule, so you can choose a restaurant independently or browse for wine, olive oil, or other purchases at your own pace.
• While you are in the village, bottled water, fuel, parking, and all taxes associated with your driver and vehicle remain covered in the background, keeping logistics simple until you rejoin the car for the return to Florence.

Wrapping up

At the end of your free time in Bolgheri, you meet your guide again and board the private luxury vehicle for the drive back to Florence, where the experience concludes at the original departure area.
