Grape Tours
A Journey into Italian Wine, Tradition and Culture
Life is Grape in Tuscany
Meet the Founders
Hi there! We’re Rebecca and Pierre, the founders of Grape Tours. You’ll often find us greeting you with a smile at our meeting point in Florence, ready to kick off a wonderful day of wine exploration. We also personally run the Grapetrotters trips—multi-day itineraries to different regions around Italy & France.
​
What Makes Us Special
At Grape Tours, our deep passion for Italy’s wine regions comes from over 30 years of experience in the world of wine and food. This journey has made us very selective and has given us the opportunity to connect with some of the best wineries around—many of them embracing sustainable and organic practices, something we deeply value.
​
More Than Just Tours
Grape Tours is closely tied to our award-winning cheese and wine bar, Formaggioteca Terroir, located right here in Florence. At the shop you’ll find a carefully curated selection of wines, cheeses, and even our own products, like organic olive oil from Chianti Classico and wine from our beloved farmhouse, Campo Sasso. Nestled in the Tuscan countryside, Campo Sasso is where we nurture an agriforestal vineyard, tend to olive groves, and age cheeses in a traditional stone farmhouse.
​
Our Philosophy
Someone once wisely said life’s too short for bad wine, and that's for certain! That’s why our tours are all about high-quality selections, with storytelling at the heart of the experience. We aim to make wine approachable, engaging, and above all, memorable.
​
Sustainability & Small Group Travel
Sustainability is more important than ever, not just for winemakers but also for us as travelers. That’s why our tours are designed for small groups, creating a shared experience with like-minded wine enthusiasts while minimizing our footprint.
​
Meet Our Team
Over the years, we’ve built a team of talented wine professionals who share our passion for exceptional wine and hospitality. If you email us with a question, you’ll likely hear from Ilaria Miele, our very first team member and an integral part of Grape Tours.
