A private tasting tour through the 'Super Tuscan' heartland of Bolgheri — home to Sassicaia and Ornellaia — with a sommelier guide, cellar access, and a long lunch paired with estate wines. The pinnacle of Italian wine tourism.
What to expect
Your private driver collects you from the port and heads north through the Maremma landscape to the cypress-lined avenue of Bolgheri. At the estate, a sommelier guides you through the vineyard philosophy, the micro-terroir, and the ageing cellars. The tasting concludes with 4–5 library vintages paired with local cheeses, cured meats, and handmade pasta at the estate table. Duration: approximately 5 hours including transfers from Civitavecchia (~1 hr each way).
Good to know
Private visits to Sassicaia and Ornellaia require advance booking directly with the estate — at least 4–6 weeks ahead. A private driver from Civitavecchia is recommended and costs approx. EUR 200–300 for the day. Back on board comfortably by 6 pm.
