Bolgheri wine tasting tour: 3 wines at Terre del Marchesato

Taste three distinct Bolgheri wines without arranging transport or a guide yourself

This 75-minute wine tasting tour at Terre del Marchesato vineyard in Bolgheri includes a visit to the vineyards and winery, tasting of three DOC Bolgheri wines (white, red, and Superiore reserve), and bread with extra virgin olive oil paired with each pour. A professional guide leads the experience in English or Italian. The winery sits 3 miles from Bolgheri village center, a 10-minute drive away.

The experience

What makes Bolgheri wine worth tasting? The answer sits at Terre del Marchesato, one of the oldest wineries in the region. The tour starts in the vineyards themselves. You walk the rows and see how the grapes grow in this specific corner of Tuscany, then move into the winery to see where the wine is made. A guide who speaks English or Italian walks you through both stops, so you understand what you're looking at instead of guessing.

The tasting comes next: three different Bolgheri wines, each paired with bread and Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. You'll taste PAPEO, a white wine (DOC Bolgheri Bianco); EMILIO PRIMO, a red wine (DOC Bolgheri Rosso); and MARCHESALE, a reserve red (DOC Bolgheri Superiore). The pairing with bread and oil is not decoration. It's how these wines are meant to be tasted, and it changes how they taste. The whole experience runs 75 minutes, which is long enough to linger over each wine without the day disappearing.

The winery is a 10-minute drive from Bolgheri village center, so it's close enough to reach easily but far enough to feel like you've gone somewhere. You'll need your own transport to get there (the tour itself does not include a pickup), but once you arrive, everything else is arranged: the guide, the access to the vineyards and cellar, and the wines themselves.
