Premium Private Wine Tours in Tuscany

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 transportation in a premium Mercedes van or a fully electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz*, with 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.​​​

​

(* Vehicle allocation depends on the itinerary, group size and availability)

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 such as a cheese tasting, an olive oil mill, a beekeeper, 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 note 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).

  • ICONIC covers 6 different regional itineraries and the focus is to obtain a deep understanding of each wine region's history, winemaking and styles.

  • EPICURIAN are wine tours that also have a strong focus on the typical foods of Tuscany, such as cheese, meats, truffles and olive oil.

  • GRAPE GEEKS are tours for people who are into discovering regions off the beaten path and grape varieties that somehow have triumphed in unlikely areas of Tuscany.

  • TOGETHER IN TUSCANY are special itineraries designed for couples or families who are looking to experience Tuscany together with their loved ones.​
