Day Tours





Only have time for a short visit to the vineyards? La Dolce Vita Wine Tours offers day trips to two popular destinations: Tuscany and Piedmont. Take the stress out of your vacation planning, and let us guide you through the wine country of Italy.

Day-tour package includes:

  • A visit to three top wine estates
  • A native Italian guide well-versed in Italian wine
  • Round-trip transportation from a designated nearby city


  • Piedmont

    A Day in the Langhe Hills
    Piedmont, located midway between the Italian Alps and the Riviera, is a wine-lover's mecca. It is home to Barolo, "the king of wines and the wine of kings," as well as Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Barbera, and Moscato. The heart of Piedmont is in the rolling Langhe hills, where we'll visit three leading producers: Renato Ratti, whose estate includes a museum of antique wine labels, bottles, and viticultural instruments; Marchesi di Barolo, whose namesake created Barolo wine in the mid 19th century; and the modernist Fratelli Oddero, whose Barolo has been widely admired for the past century. Round-trip transportation is from Alba or any other city in the Langhe hills.

    250 Euros/person; 2-person minimum. Discounts for groups of 4+.

    Tuscany

    A Day in Chianti
    With its ancient history of wine production and its recent innovations, Chianti Classico is one of Italy's most vital wine regions. Sample a variety of Chianti Classicos and Super Tuscans at three leading wine estates. These might include Cacchiano, located in a medieval castle perched on a hilltop with an impressive view; Dievole, an age-old estate with contemporary flair; and Fattoria dell' Albola, which offers a wide array of Tuscan wines. Round-trip transportation provide from Florence, Siena, or nearby towns.

    250 Euros/person for Chianti; 280 Euros for Montalcino; 2-person minimum. Discounts for groups of 4+.

    Call for group rates. If there is a change in wineries due to scheduling conflicts or unforeseeable circumstances, the wine estate would be substituted with an equivalent producer.
