A Taste of History
Bolgheri’s reputation for excellence began centuries ago.
The region’s fertile soil and coastal climate create ideal conditions for producing Super Tuscan wines — blends that rival the best Bordeaux labels. A Bolgheri wine tour captures the rich history and prestige of these legendary wines.
The scenic Via Bolgherese, connecting Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, is often called the “Wine Road” of Tuscany.
Along this route, you’ll find legendary wineries such as:
- Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia)
- Ornellaia
- Guado al Tasso
- Castello di Bolgheri
These estates offer guided tours and tastings — a perfect opportunity to learn the art of winemaking from those who’ve mastered it.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Bolgheri?
The best season for a Bolgheri Wine Tour is from June to September, when the vineyards are full and the Tuscan hills glow under the sun.
Summer brings warm weather, long days, and the chance to see the grapevines at their peak.
However, spring and autumn are also wonderful times to visit, offering cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and harvest-season experiences. These seasons make for a delightful Bolgheri wine tour.
