Once In a Lifetime Experience
My best friend and I had an amazing wine tour in Montecarlo, Tuscany today. Simone Vergamini was the consummate professional. Warm, engaging and highly informative about not only wine but the region we were in. He picked us up promptly at our hotel at 11 am. First stop was La Torre winery where we enjoyed a personal tour of the vineyard, the fermentation room and the wine cellar. We enjoyed a tasting of 4 wines produced at the winery and one dessert wine that is a Tuscan tradition. We were served charcuterie and a phenomenal Pomodoro soup. Between the two of us we walked away with 5 bottles of wine. One for our hotel room. And 4 we’ve got to get back to the US. After La Torre, we had wanted to see the medieval town of Montecarlo. Simone walked us through the town, talking about the history and leading us to some amazing views. Once we had finished with Montecarlo we went to Buonamico Winery. Here, a member of the staff took my friend and I (and a fantastic pair of BFF’s much like us but from Australia) on a very in-depth and educational tour of their wine cellars. A tasting of 5 wines followed, along with a small plate of meats and cheeses and bread with olive oil. Throughout it all, Simone was an excellent guide. The pace was prefect. The wineries were accommodating and educational. The food was amazing. He was even nice enough to stop on the way back to our hotel so we could pick up a few bottles of water. I’d highly, highly recommend Simone and WineAfterWine! It was the experience of a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much! Simone

Amazing experience!
We went on a private tour with Simone to two unique wineries. The choice of locations gave us a look at what makes the region special. Simone was knowledgeable and fun, sharing lots about wine and the area. The tours he chose were excellent with great wine and food! Highly recommend booking Simone for your Lucca wine experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot! Simone

Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.
How much does Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucca is not rushed.
Is Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lucca?
+
On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lucca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lucca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is Light lunch and wine tasting in the hills of Lucca with sommelier offered in?
+
