About this tour
Simone Vergamini, Tuscany's award-winning sommelier, brings a curated wine experience to your accommodation in or around Lucca. Over 90 minutes, you'll taste five organic wines from small regional producers—sparkling, white, rosé, and two reds—paired with local cheese, bread, focaccia and olive oil. Vergamini handles setup and service, leaving uncorked bottles behind so you can continue enjoying them throughout your stay.

What to expect
Vergamini arrives with professional glassware and table linens, handling all preparation. You'll learn the fundamentals of wine tasting—how to observe colour, nose and palate—before working through the selection. Each wine is contextualised within Tuscan winemaking traditions and the specific farms behind them. The pairing foods arrive as you taste, building flavour combinations rather than standing alone. Expect 90 minutes of focused tasting in a relaxed setting, whether at your kitchen table or hotel room.
