What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of Tuscany? For some people, it’s the ever-iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, and for others, it could be the delicious pasta dishes. But if there’s one thing you shouldn’t miss when visiting the city, it’s their wine. And the best way to maximize your time is to go on Tuscany wine tours!
How wine became a Tuscan staple
Nothing could compare to the rich history of Italian wine. The country is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions, including Tuscany.
Viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the 8th century BC when the Etruscans first settled in the city. It is best known for the warm, Mediterranean climate, the perfect condition to grow Sangiovese grapes.
Today, Tuscany is the third-highest producer of DOC/G quality wines in Italy and an excellent source of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and more!
What you can learn from Tuscany wine tours
It’s not every day that you can get a taste of the highest quality Italian wines. But luckily, Tuscany wine tours can make your dream come true.
These travel packages last for over a week, allowing you to savor the silky-smooth beverage in all its glory. You have two choices:
A glimpse of Tuscany’s private wine estates
Pizza, pasta, cheese, wine—Italy has it all, and the country takes much pride in this fact. Their secrets to making such delightful delicacies have been well-kept for hundreds of years, but thankfully, you can take a peek.
Tuscany is home to some of the most sought-after wineries. You will spend four nights in Montepulciano, where you will enjoy extravagant wine-tasting experiences in the Avignonesi Wine Estate and the Maremma Wine Region.
The tour doesn’t stop there. After drinking and eating your fill, you will spend three nights in Chianti, a historical region famous for its oil, cheese, and wine.
A tour of the city with 100 Towers
If there’s one thing Italy is known for besides food, it’s architecture. And no city is more proof of that than Alba—home to medieval towers, churches, and baroque buildings.
Wine plays a prominent role in this tour, and you can enjoy it as you bask in the city’s breathtaking landscapes. But what makes this experience even more unique is the White Truffle Hunt, where you can search for your own nuggets of white gold with a local truffle hunter.
