Lucca: Tenuta Adamo Winery Tour & Wine Tasting on Vineyard Terrace

Summary

Lucca wine tasting with cellar tour and vineyard terrace moments

You’ll walk Lucca’s hillsides with a local guide, step inside Tenuta Adamo’s cool cellars, then relax on a terrace overlooking vineyards while tasting four wines and olive oil with fresh bread. Expect real conversation, laughter between new friends, and small details you’ll remember long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway down the gravel path when I realized how much I’d missed the smell of sun-warmed vines — kind of earthy, but with something sweet underneath. Our guide, Paolo (he’s from Lucca, and you can tell by the way he talks about the hills), waved us over to the cellar before I could wander off into the rows. He explained the wine making process in this steady, easy way; I kept glancing at the old barrels stacked against cool stone walls. There was a soft echo in there, like every footstep got swallowed up by wine and time.

Back outside, we found seats on the terrace — not fancy chairs or anything, just sturdy wood with a view that made my friend go quiet for a second. The vineyard rolled out below us, all green and gold patches. They brought out four wines (a white that tasted almost like pears at first sip, then a rosé, then two reds), plus their own olive oil with local bread and focaccia. I tried to pronounce “focaccia” right; Paolo grinned but didn’t correct me. The olive oil was grassy and sharp — honestly, I never knew it could taste like that.

Other travelers joined our table — a couple from Belgium, someone from Florence — so there was this mix of languages and laughter while Paolo answered questions about harvests or which bottle he’d take home for dinner (he said the rosso, if you’re wondering). The whole thing lasted about ninety minutes but felt slower in a good way. Sometimes I still think about that last glass of red as the light changed on the vines. You know?
