Premium private guided day trips

Indulge in an exclusive wine tour experience just for you! Opting for a private tour allows you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating countryside and renowned wine regions of Tuscany, featuring some of the finest wineries, and with the undivided attention of our Grape Guide.

Our premium private wine tours typically include:

  • Private round-trip & insightful commentary from your Grape Tours guide throughout the day.

  • Visits to select wineries that beautifully showcase the region and its wines.

  • Generous tastings to savor the diverse flavors.

  • A delicious lunch, either at a winery or a traditional restaurant in the region.

Our premium wine tours cater to small parties of 2-8 people. If you have a special interest, we can customize your tour to your wishes (within reason). It's possible to substitute a winery or add a visit with for example a cheese tasting, an olive oil mill, a honey-bee keeper, a butcher visit and so forth. Let us know your wishes and we'll do our best to make it happen!​​​

Besides English (and of course Italian), we have guides who speak Spanish & French, too.

Please notice that we do our best to arrange private visits at each winery, but during busy seasons, some may host shared tastings (when groups are small).
