Private Wine Tours in the Lucca Hills: Discover Tuscany Off the Beaten Path
This private wine tour in the Lucca Hills offers a different side of Tuscany — one that’s quiet, authentic, and far from the crowds.
It’s the ideal experience for travelers who want to slow down and discover the real Tuscany, where daily life still revolves around vineyards, olive groves, and small hilltop communities.
During this full-day private wine tour (typically from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), you’ll travel through rolling countryside and scenic back roads, enjoying sweeping views and stopping in ancient villages that most visitors never see. The landscape here is intimate and unspoiled, with beautiful vistas that reveal Tuscany at its most genuine.
Family-Run Wineries, Local Farms & Authentic Encounters
Along the way, you’ll visit small, family-run wineries where passion and tradition take precedence over mass production. You’ll taste beautifully crafted local wines, learn directly from the people who make them, and gain insight into the character of this lesser-known wine region.
This area is special, and we'd love to show you why!
If you like, the experience can also include a visit to a quaint farm (for example, a cheese-making farm, or an olive oil farm), offering a deeper connection to the area’s agricultural roots and everyday life. With a knowledgeable local guide leading the way, the day flows naturally — relaxed, personal, and shaped around your interests.
