5.00This is the ideal way to do a wine tour. Simone, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and beyond just the vineyards we were visiting. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel a few km outside Lucca, so no driving was involved for those of us doing the wine tasting. We opted for the light lunch, and this was modified in advance to suit dietary requirements. It was a very relaxed day and a perfect way to see the area and visit some vineyards and taste the wines. It was also a way to get to know a bit more about the area and Italian life in general during the driving. Both vineyards we visited are quite small and had a very interesting range of wines (and were on the wine list of the 4* hotel we were staying in). They were also situated in different areas so gave an interesting contrast. A day trip with a local expert is definitely one of the best days out if you want to learn something about the area and the wines.
Great tour with Simone! Must do!

Perfect way to introduce yourself to Tuscan wines

5.00Simone picked us up at our house in Lucca, and took us to our first of 2 wine producers the first Valle del Sole- First we got a tour of the facility and learned how they made wine in this region, then we sampled 6 of their wines along with some of their olive oil, and a few snacks. The 2nd stop was at Colle Di Bordocheo- we also got a tour here, but learned a bit more about how olive oil is produced. We got to taste 5 of their wines along with their olive oil. Both locations had fantastic wine, they both had friendly and welcoming staff and it was great to have some wine that is really only available in the area. Later that night we had dinner in town and found some of the wine we had tasted on the menu, and we were able to enjoy if with our meal! Simone planned a great day for us, explained more about the regions and the types of wines that are grown.
