Frescobaldi Wine Tour: Taste Tuscany's Best Vineyards
360
Overview
Frescobaldi Wine Lovers' Experience takes people into the world of Tuscan wine. This tour is for anyone who loves wine and wants to see beautiful places. You'll visit the historic Frescobaldi estate and taste amazing wines.
The tour stops at two special places: Nipozzano Castle and Pomino Castle. Nipozzano Castle is in the heart of Chianti Rufina, where they make strong, tasty wines. Pomino is higher up in the hills, so the wines there are fresher and lighter. The Frescobaldi family has been making wine for over 700 years. They were even the first to plant some French grapes like Pinot Noir in Tuscany!
This experience includes a comfy ride in a private van and an English and Italian-speaking driver. The group will have a wine tasting at Nipozzano Castle and a lunch with wine and olive oil tasting at Pomino Castle. The tour does not include extra food or drinks beyond what is mentioned. It’s a tasty way to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

The Journey
Castle of Nipozzano
A historic estate of the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, dating back to around the year 1000. Originally a fortress, it now lies at the heart of Chianti Rufina DOCG wine production, showcasing centuries of winemaking tradition.
Pomino Area
Nestled in the hills at elevations up to 700 meters, Pomino's cooler climate produces fresher, more aromatic, and lighter-bodied wines. The Frescobaldi family pioneered the use of international grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot here, drawing inspiration from French techniques.
