Private Elba Island & Wine Shore Excursion from Portoferraio

A private full-day circuit of Elba's most cinematic landscapes — medieval hilltop villages, Napoleonic villas, and the vineyards of Tenuta delle Ripalte — ending with a curated tasting of the island's celebrated Aleatico dessert wine. The perfect marriage of scenery, history, and Tuscan flavour.

What to expect

A private driver-guide collects you at the pier and traces the island's spine road through Marciana Alta and Capoliveri before descending to the Tenuta delle Ripalte estate on the quieter eastern shore. The estate produces Elba's most lauded Aleatico — a rare, honeyed red — and a guided cellar walk precedes the tasting. Antipasti of island-cured meats and pecorino accompany the wines. The return coastal route at golden hour is extraordinary.
