A working winery where the owners pour the wine themselves

You tour a working Tuscan winery in a 1700s monastery with the owners as your guides, walk through the cellar to see how they make wine using organic methods, then sit down to a light lunch and wine tasting. Groups are small and shared, so expect other guests; if you want privacy, you can arrange a private session when you book.

The Experience

The cellar door opens and you realize this is not a polished tasting room—it's a real place where wine gets made. Cantina Biagiotti sits in a converted monastery in the hills outside Lucca, and the owners themselves walk you through what happens in those stone rooms. They talk about how they work, why they chose organic methods, and what the vines actually need. No script, no performance. Just people who inherited this land and decided to do it their own way.

The tour moves through the cellar at a pace that lets you ask questions without feeling rushed. You see where the fermentation happens, how they store things, the small decisions that add up to a bottle. After that comes a light lunch—nothing fancy, just food that goes with the wine you're about to taste. Then you sit down with a glass and taste what they make. The wine tasting at Cantina Biagiotti is straightforward: you try their wines, they explain what you're tasting, and you decide what you like. It's the kind of experience where you leave understanding something about the place instead of just having a story to tell.

One thing to know: other groups visit at the same time, so you're not alone in the cellar. If you want a completely private tour, you can contact them directly and arrange that separately. The winery is in the Lucca hills, and public transportation options are nearby if you're not driving. The whole thing is hosted by the owners themselves, which is the whole point—you're learning from people who actually care about what they're doing, not from someone reading from a card.

What’s included

Your experience includes a guided tour of the cellar where the owners explain how they make wine using organic methods, a light lunch, and a wine tasting where you sample their wines and learn what you're drinking. Everything is hosted personally by the owners themselves.
