Top Montecatini Terme Wine Tasting Tours

Immerse yourself in the history of our farm and discover how our wines are made. The experience begins in the vineyard, continues in the cellar and culminates with the tasting guided by a Sommelier.

Your experience begins with a welcome drink and a meeting with the Chef, who will guide you through the stories and secrets behind two icons of Italian cuisine: Carbonara and Tiramisù. The atmosphere will be enriched by a small appetizer platter paired with a glass of Tuscan wine, introduced through a storytelling moment that will take you across the historic winemaking areas and the excellence of the territory. Then it’s time to put on your apron and step into the kitchen. Here, carefully selected ingredients – from guanciale and fresh eggs to mascarpone and other local products – will take center stage. The Chef will lead you step by step in preparing the grandmother’s tiramisù (or, alternatively, a cheesecake) and what we like to call “the best carbonara in the world.” The experience concludes around the table, where you will taste your own creations: the carbonara paired with a glass of sparkling wine, followed by dessert accompanied by a glass of Vinsanto.
