The Tour:

In collaboration with my friend, aptly named Filippo, we have put together the ALL STAR trip to the greatest wineries in Tuscany. Throw in a Michelin starred restaurant, winemaker lunches and dinners at iconic estates, some amusement making pasta at cooking school, and a stay in THE best hotel in Chianti, and you’ve got an amazing trip.

The line-up includes Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia, Gaja, fantastic Brunellos, and old vintages from classic Chianti producers. You’ll visit the best wineries in a dynamic region that has extremely traditional producers making wine next to modernists.

It will be very educational, as well as a lot of fun. Filippo, our local guide, is an expert on Tuscany, and I’ve reserved my spot already. It’s a quality experience.

As it is a privilege to have these appointments, we will only be taking a limited number of people.

Why take a tour of Tuscany from Fine Vintage? These Tuscany wine estates are not typically open to many visitors. The only reason that we are able to visit these wineries is because James works for various corporations who buy large volumes of their wines and Filippo has very close connections in the area too. Also, you’ll experience parts of Tuscany that most will never see. The wineries are very welcoming to us. You’ll taste wines they don’t allow others to try, and all the details are taken care of…

Price: The cost per person is CAD$3,990 (including tax) based on double occupancy at the hotels. This price includes all accommodation, visits and tastings at wineries, all meals, all wine at meals, and local transport. The cooking class is not included and is quoted upon request.  Flights are not included.

If you are travelling by yourself we will try to find you someone appropriate to share a room with, or if you want your own room there will be a single supplement of CAD$800.
