Wine Tours in Tuscany - Recommendations Wanted

[Hopsie_Pike]

Have any of you had experience with private wine tours in Tuscany? We're on the Oceania Insignia, and have a 13-hour port day in Livorno on Oct. 24. Any recommendations - especially for guides - and experiences would be most welcome. Also, that's a Sunday - would that negate the entire idea?

We did one out of Florence that was fantastic. Contact info @ tuscan dash wine dash tours dot com. Give them your dates and arrival / departure times. They can probably arrange something for you. Rebecca is wonderful.

You may want to contact Romeinlimo. They will customize any tour and have many contacts with wineries in the region of Tuscany.

We are using them (for the second time) when we are there next year.

we used them in 2004 6 of us, '05 2 of us, 06 2 of us, '08 2 of us, and 09, 6 of us. the first time we took the train to siena for two days prior to a cruise. in '05 & '06 a cruise stopped in livorno, in '08 we took the train up from rome to Cusi (prob. mispelled), and in '09 a cruise that stopped in livorno

 

we have never done the same thing twice having done in depth stops and meeting with the owners at wineries, touring an olive oil factory, mountain villages, some amazing lunches. the owners are antonio, alexandra, and fabio. we have been with all three, alexandra is hilariously funny and charming and they all live in siena

 

tell them bruce sent you and you will be well taken care of.
