TUSCANY WINE TOURS
Tour Chianti Classico, Montalcino, Maremma, and More in Tuscany
A FOOD & WINE LOVERS DREAM
I’ve been visiting the great estates in Tuscany for many years. Like you, I consider it to be one of the most idyllic places in the world, and our Fine Vintage tours take you to my favorite spots.
We have two fantastic options for touring Tuscany. Either you book a 3-day private tour on your own schedule or you join one of famous group tours hosted by a Master of Wine that lasts 5 days on the set schedules below.
You’ll explore the classic wineries in the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, the icons of Montalcino in their majestic castellos, and the titans of the coast, the so-called Super-Tuscans, the most famous wines of Italy. We visit the cream of the crop.
It’s a learning experience beyond compare, fun-filled, and definitely qualifies as a bucket list trip.
I invite you to join us.
ABOUT THE TOUR AND REGION
THE 3 CLASSIC REGIONS OF TUSCANY
We meet in Florence and set-off for the coast to discover the iconic Super Tuscan estates. Our hotel is the epitome of Italian charm, overlooking the Mediterranean.
After 2 days we move on to Montalcino to taste spectacular Brunellos, including some of the most prized wines of Italy. We stay at a luxurious hotel in the hills just outside of Siena.
The final 2 days feature the historic estates in Chianti Classico, magnificent castellos, where we taste old vintages and learn from the owners and winemakers.
On a Fine Vintage tour, you’ll get privileged access to people, places and wines. It’s really quite an experience.

THE COAST & THE SUPER TUSCANS
We begin on the coast where we discover the Super Tuscans, some of the most famous wineries in the world, where the Cabernets and Merlot reign supreme. These are exceptional quality wines.
We tour the great names, typically including Ornellaia, Tua Rita, and more.
EAT, DRINK, PLAY
The second day starts off with some serious insight into grape growing, winemaking, and extensive tastings of these amazing Super-Tuscan wines. We tour the vineyards and cellars at the great estates.
A fabulous Italian lunch follows at one of the iconic properties, the wine starts to flow, the laughter gets louder, and the pleasure of the moment sinks in.
A visit to the quaint town of Bolgheri, time to relax, and then you’ll get ready for a classic wine dinner.
BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO & SIENA
On the third day we drive to Montalcino where we taste some of my favorite wines in the world, the spectacular Brunellos. These 100% Sangiovese wines are highly complex and are capable of ageing for decades.
For the last two nights we stay at a luxury hotel nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills just outside of Siena.
CHIANTI CLASSICO & GRAND CASTELLOS
Enjoy free time in the morning to book a spa treatment or pop off on your own to explore Siena. In the afternoon, we set out from our Tuscan hideaway to visit the great producers in Chianti Classico, usually including estates like Castello di Brolio and Tignanello.
These are magnificent castellos whose wines are often the surprise favorites of our guests.
MICHELIN RESTAURANTS & ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS
We explore the cavernous cellars of one last ancient castello and wrap the day up with a blow-out Michelin lunch with healthy amounts of fine wine.
We drop you in Florence, speechless.
