Wine, from the estate to the table

Tuscany is a wine region that rewards a little patience. The coast around Castiglioncello sits within reach of Bolgheri, the area that changed the reputation of Tuscan wine, and of the older estates inland. Our wine service is built around that geography rather than around a list of labels.

Private visits to local estates

We arrange private winery visits to local estates. A visit is not a tasting room with a queue: it is a conversation with the people who make the wine, in the place where it is made. The estate, the time and the format are agreed for your dates.

Because the visit involves leaving the villa, it pairs naturally with the private driver service. Nobody has to choose between tasting and driving.

Sommelier and selected bottles

A sommelier service and a fine wine selection are available on request. The sommelier can guide a dinner, choose bottles for a celebration or put together a short tasting at the house. We also arrange curated wine sourcing: selected Bolgheri and Tuscan labels, brought to the villa on request.

If you already know what you want, tell us the producer or the style. If you do not, tell us what you are eating and what you usually enjoy, and the sommelier will propose a short list.

How to plan it

Wine experiences are arranged on request. We confirm the estate, the time, the number of guests, what is included and the price in writing. Visits depend on the estate's own calendar and on the season; we do not publish opening hours we cannot guarantee.

A note on alcohol

Wine is served to adults and in moderation. If you are travelling with children, tell us and we will plan accordingly. We do not present alcohol as a health product and we do not encourage excess.
