Tasting wine is an experience that engages the mind and all our senses. Everyone senses flavors and smells – but what does each one of us actually perceive when we drink wine? What are our feelings when we drink a glass of red – or white, or rosé – and why do we favor one over the other? This is what you will learn in our educational wine tours, so and you can make informed choices and consciously decide which wines to buy for your needs.
We are not yet another tour operator selling stock tourist packages. As our brand name implies, we aim to take you quite a few layers deeper, by curating exclusive experiences with only the finest labels from very selected winemakers, representing the cream of what Tuscany has to offer. Wine culture has been intertwined for centuries with the Tuscan lifestyle, and our guided visits of noble wine estates and their historic cellars aim to highlight the source and nature of that age-old relationship.
The quality, richness and diversity of Tuscan wines is unmatched. Let Tuscan Wine Curator help you discover the pleasures of Tuscan wine and the secrets of wine & food pairing. You will be able to taste and purchase hand-picked wines from the most famous wine making districts in Tuscany: Chianti Classico, Chianti Colli Fiorentini, Chianti Rufina, Chianti Colli Senesi, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Brunello di Montalcino, as well as the fine wines of the Bolgheri area.
