Wine Tour with Sommelier Fabio
I create unique tours to discover wine regions of Tuscany and Italy.
Why choose me
I am an Italian sommelier and a wine educator (sommelier school), I collaborate with a wine magazine (“Sommelier Toscana”), I write on the blog Il Salotto del Vino and I am a regional editor of the annual winebook “VITAE”. Therefore, I’m the perfect companion for wine lovers, who don’t just want to make a tour with a driver, but wish to learn form a real expert, visiting selected wineries, tasting fine wine and food.
What are my tours like
My aim is to create a unique experience focused on discovering the fine wines of Tuscany and Italy. My tours are only about wine, wine regions, wineries (… but you can drink water as well at lunch!). Each tour is customized based on client’s expectations. I will ask you what you’re into and I’ll make you a proposal that you can agree or ask for a change.
Service I can offer
I can just be your wine guide, or I can find a car or minivan with a driver for you. I work with qualified partners and travel agencies. I am flexible and will accomodate your needs. You get me, my skills and my experience at you service.
What is my fee
I am not rewarded by wineries. I select wineries for the quality of their wines. I only work for your interest. I assume you are hiring me for my skills, so my fee includes the organization of the tour and the time I spend with you. Based on the kind of service you ask me, I will let you know the total price (calculated by adding to my fee the cost for the car/van, for tasting at wineries and for lunch).
WINE TOURS IN TUSCANY
THE NEW STYLE FROM THE COAST OF TUSCANY
Come and meet an area in turmoil, which for years has been producing labels loved by wine lovers from all over the world. If you love cabernet, merlot, syrah, ... this can be the right choice!
BOLGHERI & ITS WINES
Be guided to discover the Bolgheri DOC, its territory and its producers. In 1971 Sassicaia was first released on the market and was the start of a revolution. Love cabernet? Then you'll like Bolgheri!
CHIANTI. WHAT ELSE?
Chianti is the name of a place, but Chianti wine is not made in Chianti, only Chianti Classico is made in Chianti. It seems hard to understand, isn't it? Come with me and I'll make it easy!
MONTALCINO AND ITS BELOVED BRUNELLO
Visit the place where Brunello, 100% Sangiovese grape, was born. Meet boutique wineries and branded estates as well.
MONTEPULCIANO: THE VINO NOBILE
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano has a very long tradition and comes from a very beautiful land. Let's spend a day enjoying food and wine!
MONTEPULCIANO AND CORTONA
Two adjacent wine regions so different from each other: Montepulciano with traditional Sangiovese, Cortona with modern Syrah from Tuscany
EAST OF FLORENCE: CHIANTI RUFINA
For centuries the tiny area of Rufina has delivered wine to the city of Florence. Rufina is not in Chianti, but the wine is called "Chianti" and tastes so good. You can find bargains here!
WEST OF FLORENCE: CARMIGNANO
Carmignano was a residence of the Medici Family. Here Sangiovese has for long been blended with some Cabernet. Some say it is the forerunner of SuperTuscans.
VERNACCIA: A WHITE WINE AMONG REDS
A white grape variety has always been cultivated on the gentle slopes of San Gimignano. Its name is "Vernaccia di San Gimignano" and the wine can be aged for years!
MAREMMA: MEDITERRANEAN WINES
The southernmost area of Tuscany, lying on the west coast, has been producing warm and seductive wines. Tradition and innovation meet here, benefiting from mediterranean climate conditions
