Exclusive tour of Ghizzano: Organic winery & noble palace tour
Wine & Food ToursAN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY
Live an extraordinary journey, blending history, organic wine production and contemporary art in the small town of Ghizzano, that may be a small village, but it holds a wealth of experiences.
Our tour is the most comprehensive tour go Ghizzano you’ll find online.
Hidden gems of Ghizzano
Your visit includes not only a tour of the village and its wine cellars, complete with wine tasting, but also exclusive access to a 700-year-old historic villa. You’ll have the rare opportunity to climb the panoramic tower, where you can enjoy breathtaking views that stretch as far as the ocean on clear days. On top of that the experience includes also a guided and relaxing walk through the vineyards and olive groves, where you’ll discover the unique organic and biodynamic methods used to produce their exceptional wines and olive oils.
The country residency of Pisan aristocracy
Accompanied by your private guide, the day takes you to the aristocratic noble palace that belongs to the noble family of Counts, who have called Ghizzano home for many centuries and have dedicated themselves to winemaking through the generations.
Your exclusive tour includes a visit to the private quarters of Countess Carla, the palace’s current resident, as well as a stroll through her elegant gardens. Don’t miss the stunning 360° panoramic view from the rooftop tower, offering unparalleled vistas of the Tuscan hills.
The contemporary art of Ghizzano and wine tasting
The tour also takes you through the vibrant streets of Ghizzano, adorned with surprising contemporary art installations that blend perfectly with the historic architecture. The village’s unique painted buildings have even earned it the nickname “The Colored Town of Tuscany.”
The experience concludes in the historic wine cellars, where premier wines “sleep” in barrels. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of 4–5 exceptional organic wines paired with bruschettas, cheeses and cold cuts sourced from a nearby organic producer. The tasting features a white wine, a classic red, two aged red wines, and, if available, a special wine aged in a distinctive amphora. You’ll also sample their exquisite olive oils, crafted using unique techniques.
This is a list of specialties that you are likely to sample as part of the program of this tour. Please, note that the specialties of the tasting session and/or lunch may vary according to the season and the availability of the products in the day of the tour.

This is a message of Arlene after joining Luca for a private winery tour in Tuscany
Dear Luca
I have now just gotten the time to thank you so very much for your very professional and cordial assistance. You were truly a bright spot in our vacation and we enjoyed the cooking class and the wine tour. We have already told our friends about Arianna & Friends and your expert service in the Tuscany area. Please keep our e-mail and if you ever have the chance to come to the states, please e-mail us and we will be sure to show you our lovely city of Philadelphia and our home in the country and at the beach. Please tell Arianna that you are what we Americans say “a keeper” and her business will flourish with an employee like you.
Thank you again with all the help you gave us and all the courtesy you showed.
Sincerely,
Arlene
PS. If possible, you said you could e-mail us the recipes from our cooking class!!!
