Description
The beautiful Tuscan hills are home to many good wineries, but not all of them give a visit that is as deep and special. This private wine tour allows you to taste a curated selection of fine labels and relax with a typical five-course Tuscan dinner, and most importantly, join in the magical skill of grape blending to make your own unique mixture. At the end of the experience, you will have the chance to take home a personalized bottle to share with friends and family.
