    Tuscan Wine Escape

    Such an amazing tour. Great history in the region and some amazing wine and views. Not too far of a drive from Florence and the perfect way to get out of the busy city! The food was also delicious both places make their own olive oil which you can also buy.

    Response from the operator: We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour, the wine, the oil and the views. We wish all the best and hope to see you again on the future. Best Regards Enotrepea Team

    Most memorable tour, most memorable wines!

    We were so fortunate to find Angel and Enotropea Tours to fully immerse ourselves in Carmignano history and its extraordinary wines. Angel secured us by private car from our Airbnb in Carmignano. We visited Bacchereto and the vineyard and historic farm that was a hunting lodge part of the Medici hunting estate in the 1400’s. The history and the wines (Terre a Mano, Vin Santo, Sassocarlo) were memorable and a once in lifetime intimate tasting experience with the owner of the winery and Angel. Then, our day concluded with a visit to a much larger winery Tenuta di Capezzana dating back to wine and olive production on the land since 800. We had a guided tour of the cellars and wine tasting (Carmignano DOCG, Trebbiano) with a lovely lunch overlooking the beautiful vistas. Angel is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and the wines. What a love and appreciation we now have for the region of Carmignano and its extraordinary wines because of our new friend Angel! We are looking forward to a future tour with Enotropea and hope to see Angel again soon.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We are truly happy we were able to offer you a unique and carefully selected experience. Angel sends his regards and is happy with the words of appreciation! We do hope to have you back one day! Best wishes, Enotropea Team

    The people that own these lovely vineyards and their exceptional wines.

    This was truly one the top vineyard tours we have done in Italy. Our guide for the day was Fabian. He was not only enthusiastic but knowledgeable about the wine and vineyards but also the entire region. We were so happy with all the information he was able to provide. The vineyards were so different from one another. Each vineyard was loaded with their own history from WWII information to stories of Leonardo's Grandmother's home in the area. The meal provided at the Fattoria Di Bacchereto vineyard was so Italian authentic it brought tears to my eyes. We enjoyed their gracious hospitality along with the delicious food. We found ourselves not wanting to leave. We feel this wine region is a little hidden jewel. The wines were all divine!!!! We give this tour our highest recommendations!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the beautiful words! We are looking forward to having you back soon on another wine tour of ours! Best regards, Enotropea Team

    Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany cost?

    +

    Prices start at $457 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 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 Florence is not rushed.

    Is Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany?

    +

    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 Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany?

    +

    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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany 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 Florence 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 Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?

    +

    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 Florence?

    +

    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 is included in Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany?

    +

    Included: Visit to 2 boutique wineries; Certified sommelier/guide with you the entire day; 100% private tour; Typical Tuscan lunch with 0 km products; and Olive oil tasting. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Private Carmignano Tour: The First Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany if the weather is bad?

    +
