Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van
Description
The only authentic wine tour in Lucca. Two wineries. Two different ways of making wines, different opinions, and different methods, but united by the same aim: producing the best wine of Lucca. I will pick you up in Lucca with my van, and I will drive you through the hills of Tuscany. We'll start our visit with a walk in the vineyard and we will visit the cellar where you will discover all the secrets about Tuscan wine, thanks to the explanations and the life stories of the farmers. Two very different places but united by the same passion for the Tuscan wine and the territory. At the end, you will taste the wines of the production. At the second winery, every wine will be matched with products from the garden and some specialties, like salami or pecorino cheese of Tuscany... a dip in the Tuscan table culture! No luxury, just authenticity. PS Just an advice: have a rich breakfast because we will start drinking early ;) "Wine, locals and passion"

We had an amazing time hanging out with Raffael. Went to two very small destinations and learned about Lucca wine, food, and many stories. I would highly recommend if you like wine, interesting people, and a break from the beach.
A great tour to two lovely boutique wineries. The tour guide Marco was excellent full of local knowledge of the wines and of Lucca. The wine was excellent, enjoyed a the. Tasting in a beautiful setting couldn’t of asked for more.
A great trip into the Tuscan hills to try wine and olive oil at 2 locations. Both stops were amazing but I was completely charmed by the hospitality at Tenuta Marceli. The food was delicious and Francesca was radiant and passionate about sharing information about her family’s operations. Tommaso, our guide; was a delight and worked hard to integrate the group in the beginning and engaged each of us too. This was not an easy order as our group was varied in ages and backgrounds. His local knowledge was also appreciated.
Our trip with Thomas was fantastic. He brought us to wonderful smaller wineries that we would not have been able to find or visit without his knowledge and relationships. He shared really interesting history on the area and wine as well. Truly a special experience!
Wonderful day of wine tasting. We visited two lovely small vineyards outside Lucca. Our driver and guide Raffaele was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It was lovely to learn about the wines from the owners, and to taste fresh and local produce. The "light lunch" in the second winery was amazing. Owner Francesca really outdid herself. Would highly recommend this tour!
Spend the day wine tasting on two vineyards for my 30th birthday with a group of friends - had the most amazing time. Everyone was super knowledgeable and lovely, I learnt a lot but also tasted delicious new wines. Would definitely recommend! Multiple wines and lots of food offered and very generous hosts.
Wonderful day today with Thomas and Andrea. We were 16 adults traveling through Tuscany. We were picked up at our villa and spent 6 hours touring 2 local vineyards. Included tastings (7 in total) and lunch. Absolutely wonderful day with two great people. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see local people and not the tourist traps!
We couldn’t be happier to read your review! We truly appreciate your positive feedback. Thank you and hope to see you again in Lucca! Kind regards, Tommaso
It was a magical day to see where the wines are made, to hear the history of the families and the properties and to taste such delicious wines and food!
Really appreciate the feedback—thanks! Come visit us again anytime. Kind regards, Tommaso
Bravo! This was a wonderful relaxing afternoon away from busy Lucca. Tommuaso and Raffaele did the driving and shared so much information about the region and 2 family owned wineries and their processes. A delicious authentic lunch was provided in the middle of the vineyard and of course plenty of wine sampling through the day. Lovely views -- it was the highlight of our trip to Lucca!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us ! We’re happy you enjoyed it and hope you’ll come back soon :) Kind regards, Tommaso
We’ve been on a number of wine tours over the years, both in the UK and Europe, but I would put this at the top. This is in no small measure due to our host for the day - Tomasso. His English was excellent, his knowledge extensive and he was quite lovely and charming. He took time to find out about the 6 of us in our group, he was personable and unhurried at all times. When he found out one of us had a birthday that day he discreetly phoned ahead to Tanuta Mareli where at the end of our tour Francesca amazingly produced a lovely surprise cake and candle made by her daughter. We visited two wineries and experienced 5 different wines at each, gradually transitioning through white/rosé to light reds to medium/heavy reds. All were organically produced. We were treated to the most beautiful food for our lunch at the Tenuta Mareli winery all sourced and produced by Francesca. It was a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed your time with us, and it’s always a pleasure to know our guests leave with good memories. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Tommaso :)
