Tuscany’s heart truly lies in its family-run vineyards — places that offer an intimate experience where you can meet passionate winemakers and learn how delicious wines are made using techniques that have been passed down through generations. In fact, the Chianti region alone in Italy boasts over 5,000 of these hidden gems!
However, not all of them are immediately accessible to tourists. Many of these specialty wineries require reservations and don’t accept visitors during certain times of the year. If you want to explore them, you need a professionally arranged Tuscan wine tour. Italy Luxury Tours can unlock these doors for you.
Why choose Italy Luxury Tours?
We have cultivated special relationships with select wine producers chosen for their picturesque locations, warm hospitality, and exceptional wines. Let us handle the reservations and ensure a seamless experience — all you have to do is relax and savor the moment.
Why is booking a Tuscan wine tour package better than going solo?
There’s certainly an allure to going solo and planning all the aspects of your vacation on your own. But it’s not easy or practical. You will need to map out your entire route, which often means spending days or even weeks online trying to pick the best wineries to visit. But what if you went through all those things only to see a closed sign dangling at the gate? While organizing your own trip might seem fulfilling at first, the outcome might just lead to certain disappointments.
Also, imagine the trouble of always checking your map or trying to get help from locals who might not speak your language. Without local knowledge, you will likely skip over secret spots and smaller wine places that have some of the best wines you might never taste.
Booking one of our Tuscan wine tour packages lets you uncover unique places and more. We can take you to hidden, family-run vineyards that are inaccessible to most tourists, where you can meet the stewards of the land and hear their stories firsthand.
Our multilingual drivers and guides hold dual certifications, ensuring your safety and smooth navigation throughout your Tuscan adventure. They can translate conversations with locals, recommend hidden gems you might miss on your own, and share fascinating stories about the region’s history and culture during scenic drives.
Need to adjust your itinerary? No problem! Our guides are adaptable and can accommodate on-the-spot changes to ensure a truly personalized experience.
While they won’t lead tours inside museums or churches (local guides are required for those), our team will keep you engaged throughout your journey, ensuring you don’t miss a single historical or cultural detail.
Italy Luxury Tours offers a safe and enriching experience for all travelers. Exploring a new region can be daunting, but with our experienced guides by your side, you’ll feel confident and secure, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of Tuscany.
What can you expect in a Tuscan wine tour?
Our pre-arranged Tuscan wine tour which lasts for 9 nights and 10 days, starts in Montalcino and Montepulciano. Here, our clients will have the chance to explore underground wine cellars, old-time churches, and streets offering aesthetic views.
Your guide will then take you to San Gimignano, Siena, and Chianti. These places are ancient towns known for their rich stories and tasty food. Activities like picking olives, making oil, and trying different cheeses are part of the experience. San Gimignano is popular for its 14 towering structures from the Middle Ages, Siena is famous for its well-preserved medieval city recognised by UNESCO, and in Chianti, you’ll find over 5000 small wine producers.
Then, you’ll visit Florence. There, alongside a professional chef, you’ll engage in a private cooking class. This session is all about teaching you the steps to make a traditional meal from Tuscany. After cooking, enjoy a relaxed walk around Florence to see its stunning buildings and delightful, hidden spots.
Or, you have the freedom to choose your own itinerary. We cater to those who look for exclusive vacation packages tailored precisely to our client’s preferences. With our expertise, we can customize your tour to include visits to hidden gems known only to locals, private tastings with acclaimed vintners, and even special events that match your personal interests.
Our team has deep roots and strong links in key places. This means our clients get into top hotels and private wine places others might not see. We have offices in North America and on-the-ground support in Italy, so you know that during your vacation, you’ll have a vast network of support at your fingertips.
