Detailed itinerary

Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 8,00am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 7,45am. We will then drive to the first winery which will take approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Our first stop is a unique winery that embraces an innovative approach to ethical agriculture, producing organic wines guided by a biointegral philosophy. At this exclusive location, you'll enjoy stunning views of the sea, with Elba and Montecristo in the distance. Following this, you will tour the wine cellars and vinification rooms, where the entire winemaking process will be explained. The winery seamlessly combines tradition and modernity, offering a tasting of the estate's signature wines accompanied by appetizers.

This tour is as much about wine as it is about sightseeing. After visiting the first winery, you'll explore one of Italy's most picturesque medieval villages, once inhabited by the ancient Etruscans. Nestled between the hills and the sea on the Etruscan coast, the village’s name derives from Latin, meaning 'cork oak,' the main source of cork for wine bottles. Here, you'll enjoy a multi-course traditional lunch and have time to wander the cobblestone streets, experiencing the charm of a place where history comes alive, making you feel as if you've traveled back in time.

The second winery is located just a few minutes away from Suvereto and has maintained a perpetual feminine touch, having been led by women for over 200 years. It was Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, who first chose this location to plant the seeds of an agricultural and vinicultural project. The medium-sized estate combines cutting-edge technology with local traditions, ensuring maximum control and quality from harvest to bottling. You'll enjoy a thorough tour of the estate, transitioning from the vineyard to the cellars, followed by a second wine tasting. The winery practices organic methods, with a commitment to minimizing environmental impact.

Your guide for the day will drop you back to where you were picked up. Guides can drop clients back to other locations with prior notice.
