    Book This Tasting!

    You must book this experience with Simone! We had an easy day to recover from exploring all Italy has to offer, and this was the perfect way to continue learning about Tuscany from the comfort of our villa. Simone arrived promptly, with a smile, and the juice for a great night. The table setting was wonderful, and at the location of our choosing on the property. Simone clearly has a great love for Tuscany and its wines; anyone is lucky to learn from him about the history and characteristics of the wines available from this region. The wines provided were delicious and well curated by Simone, and we would never have tried these wines while in Italy (or anywhere else!) without his help. Cheeses, breads and incredible olive oil were included with the tasting. Wines were so good that we ended up buying a few bottles to enjoy on the remainder of our stay! Will definitely be ordering more to ship home to the US! Thank you, Simone, for a wonderful evening! We hope to see you again soon!

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot Kevin, it has been a great pleasure! Simone

    Fabulous, informative experience

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our sommelier, Simone. His knowledge of the wines, the local region, the vineyards, and the growing and production process was truly impressive. He shared information in a way that was both educational and engaging, making the experience enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their level of wine knowledge. Beyond his expertise, he was personable, warm, and a pleasure to spend the evening with. He created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged conversation and questions, and his passion for the wines and the region was evident throughout. My guests are visiting from abroad, and this tasting was unanimously named the highlight of their trip. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and informative introduction to the wines of Tuscany.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much! Simone

    Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Lucca is not rushed.

    Is Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert 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 Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier?

    +

    Around 9 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert 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 is included in Private Wine Tasting at Your Home in Lucca with Expert Sommelier?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Alcoholic beverages; and Professional wine tasting glasses : 5 per person. Not included: Purchase of wines and extra virgin olive oil tasted during the wine tasting. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Directly to "your home" (villa, hotel, villa, farmhouse or B&B) in the countryside around the city of Lucca or in cities outside and inside the walls within a radius of 15 km from the city center. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
