A wine tour in Italy with us is an exceptional way to discover the country's true essence. Explore the charming vineyards and rolling hills of Tuscany, the renowned vineyards of Piedmont, or the romantic, picturesque landscapes surrounding Venice. With us, you'll experience Italy's rich winemaking heritage in a way that is as unique as the wine itself.
All our private tours start comfortably at your hotel or accommodation in Venice, Turin or Florence (except for Venice, where it is not possible to do so). A dedicated English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up in an air-conditioned vehicle in the morning and will drop you off at the end of an exciting day among vineyards, wineries, stunning views of the gorgeous Italian countryside and after fulfilling experiences with wine tasting, delicious food and, maybe, some adrenaline-filled truffle hunting.
Every stop on your tour is designed to deliver an authentic, personalized experience. You'll enjoy exclusive wine tastings guided by local experts at leading wineries or family-owned boutique vineyards, where winemakers will personally share their passion for their craft and terroir. These private wine tours are not only a chance to taste world-class wines, but also to explore the history and culture that shape each bottle.
No wine tour in Italy is complete without savoring the exceptional local cuisine. Every tour includes a carefully curated meal at a traditional Italian restaurant or vineyard, where you will taste the best local dishes perfectly paired with wines from the region. From rich pastas to fresh, seasonal produce, food plays a pivotal role in every private wine tour, allowing you to savor the flavors of Italy in every bite.

10 practical tips for planning a wine tour in Tuscany — from choosing which sub-region to focus on, to why Antinori and Biondi Santi need advance booking.
The territory of Chianti Classico stretches between Siena and Florence — and why the word 'Classico' matters more than most travelers realize.
A shared wine tour groups you with other travelers (max 8 guests) in a minivan, following a fixed itinerary and departure time from a set meeting point in Florence. A private wine tour reserves the vehicle, driver and guide exclusively for your party, with pickup available from your hotel or accommodation and an itinerary built around your preferences.
Yes — a private tour is built around your preferences: the pace, the wineries, additional stops, and the starting/ending point can all be discussed when booking.
On private tours, yes — your group tastes on its own. On shared tours, you'll be tasting alongside the other guests on that day's departure (up to 8 people total).
Yes, absolutely. Shipping wine home — particularly to the United States — is very common, straightforward, and organized directly by each winery where we stop.
• How it works: Every winery we visit is fully equipped and works with licensed international wine couriers that handle door-to-door, temperature-controlled shipping, US customs clearance, and local state taxes. The system is simple: you select your bottles or cases, provide your US shipping address, and pay for both the wine and shipping directly to the winery with your credit card.
• Company policy disclaimer: Please note that all wine purchases, shipping arrangements, transit insurance, and deliveries are contracted directly and exclusively between you and the respective winery. Italy and Wine acts purely as your tour operator and is not a party to these transactions, nor do we handle wine sales, shipping fees, or delivery tracking.
For more details on typical transit times, customs rules, and packaging, read our guide on Shipping Wine from Tuscany to USA.
For a classic private Tuscany wine experience from Florence, we recommend a day in Chianti Classico and the Super Tuscan countryside. It offers beautiful landscapes, renowned red wines, welcoming family-run estates, and the flexibility to enjoy the day at your own pace.
If you are especially interested in Brunello di Montalcino or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, we can also arrange a private itinerary further south in Tuscany. These areas are ideal for wine enthusiasts, although the journey from Florence is longer. Your private tour can be tailored around your preferred wine region, the number of wineries you would like to visit and whether you would like to include a traditional Tuscan lunch.
“A beautiful tour through some of the most enchanting wineries we have ever visited. Andrea made the entire day truly special with his warmth, knowledge, and thoughtful attention to every detail. From the stunning scenery to the memorable tastings, it was an experience we will always treasure.”

The owner chef provided high quality food with really so much to eat and the bottle of wine was great with the meal. This was an all day fun filled tour which we will remember always.”
