Join us for a complete holiday dedicated to Tuscan Wine Tasting.
Visit Italy like you have never done before and see vineyards, villas, and both private and public wine cellars in southern Tuscany
Customized wine tours with Isabel Innocenti (accommodations at the Villa Gaia Estate) can offer a rare chance to discover not Chianti but rather "best kept secret" wines like the lesser-known Morellino di Scansano, Tuscan rosé, the white wine of Pitigliano, as well as, the much-celebrated Brunello of the Montalcino area and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. You will be invited to wine tastings, see different wineries while learning about wine production and explore different wine towns like Montalcino with its classic castle and Pitigliano which sits mysteriously perched atop a large mass of tuff stone.
You will visit rare and unique villages and towns in the Southern Tuscany region of Italy, far away from places overly crowded with tourists. Yet this region is full of history, culture, beautiful nature, delicious food and wine, and traditional Tuscan hospitality.
In addition, this journey will take you to the "unknown" Southern Tuscany, and specifically to the Maremma region and the area of Monte Amiata. In this area you will find nearby villages immersed in chestnut tree forests, an ideal environment of beauty and natural countryside along with well preserved cultural heritage.
If you choose our services we will be happy to satisfy all your needs and wishes. Please inquire with me to customize your wine tour.
Sincerely,
Isabel Innocenti

I've been to Italy 4 times. I've been to Venice, Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples, and Sicily. Unless you have nerves of steel, don't drive yourself. Italians are lovely, friendly people, but the thing is they ALL think they are Michael Bloody Schumacher and the inventors of Formula 1 racing!!!! The sweetest Italian granny will turn into a spitting road hog when behind the wheel of a car. Driving in Italy is best considered a spectator sport, use the trains to get around, or go on coach tours. That said, we hired a car for Sicily, which was interesting, and quite hair-raising in places. The locals like reversing their cars onto busy streets full of rush-hour traffic. Often quite fast .... Be brave with food. Ask in a trattoria (family-run places, less upmarket than 'ristorantes', but the food is just as good) what the chef would recommend. Food in Italy is organic by default, and very tasty - some dishes are richer than others. If you enjoy your meal, do tell them - it means as much if not more than a few more Euros as a tip. Learn a few phrases in Italian, and try to use them - it always helps. Ones that are useful are : Hello sir/madam, Do you speak English? Please, thank you, and The food is delicious. Good travel guide books have a useful phrases section in the local language in the back. Everywhere you go, you'll find that good sturdy walking shoes with arch support are your New Best Friends. Really. I'm also a fan of going off exploring on my own, armed with travel guide book and map. Palermo in Sicily is particularly good for this. It's full of architectural surprises.

Just near Rome there is a place called "Colli albani" albani hills where you can visit kilometres of vineyards and drink many famous wines in the world.

I raccomended to you my zone, Bolgheri, Val di Cornia, Montescudaio and Elba. It' s in the province of Livorno, that is only 20 km far from Pisa airport, on the south cost of Tuscany. We have sweet temperature all year around and delightful places to visit.
