Top Genoa Wine, Beer & Spirits

Lower Piedmont is very well known for its wine and food culture. This is why we give you access to some of the most traditional wineries and food artisans in the area. You will not only visit the wineries and taste the wines, but you will also speak and interact directly with the people that make the wine. Lower Piedmont is also the region of the white truffle, and depending on the season, we can arrange a truffle hunting demonstration done by local truffle hunters. This is also the place where the Montebore Cheese and the Salame Nobile del Giarolo are produced. We can also arrange a visit to the local producer of these two great specialties where you will learn the cheese and salami making process. We build bike tours that are tailored to your interests.

Enjoy your day-trip from Genoa Pier: meet your English speaking driver alongside your cruise ship and be driven to San Gimignano. A stroll through the core of San Gimignano, in the shadows of its surviving towers, is a delight. As the town was about a day's trek to Siena or Florence in the Middle Ages, it was a good stopover for pilgrims en route from those cities to Rome. Near the main gate, you can still see the remains of a 12th-century pilgrims' shelter. S.Gimignano counts 14 towers. A visit here also includes access to the archeological museum and Torre Grossa. After your walking tour enjoy a typical wine tasting and light lunch in one of the wineries of the area before heading back to Genoa.

We are reasonably flexible with the itinerary as we are a completely private excursion..You can be "hands on" or just sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
