By Train

It's very easy to reach wineries in Italy by train because the railway system in the country is very vast. All the big cities are connected through highspeed trains (Frecciarossa and Italo) and from all the main station, you can get regional trains that will get you closer to wineries in Italy.
Check Trenitalia and Italo for more information.

By Car

From north to south, wineries in Italy are easily accessible by car. To move around the country, take the motorways (roads named with A) and you will get to travel very quickly around Italy.

Everything you need to know before you take a tour to Italy

German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once wrote “Do you know the land where the lemon-trees bloom?” and we couldn’t agree more as Italy is known for its delicious lemons that are commonly used to produce delicious Limoncello. However, we want to take a poetic license and slightly change what Goethe wrote: “Do you know the land where vines bloom and some of the world’s most amazing wines are produced?”

Along with France and Spain, Italy is one of the largest wine-growing countries in the world. Wine is actually produced in all 20 regions of Italy, these regions are popular far beyond national borders and their wines are exported all over the world. Within these 20 wine regions, half of the production consists of red wines and the other half of white wines, it’s a perfect balance that can also be detected in the harmonious way in which Italian wine pairs with Italian cuisine.

This means that if you are planning to visit wineries in Italy, you will have to carefully choose where to go first and start looking for the best region for you. There are plenty of gorgeous wineries in Italy, spread all over each region. All wineries in Italy have their own story to tell, winemaking techniques and uniques wines to offer their guests.

Here, you can read more about wineries to visit in Italy and wineries in Carmignano.

There was however intransparency about the price of the visit and the tasting. We very much appreciated Winetourism’s assistance in finding and booking the visit to Castorani Winery.

Thank you Our tour was great. There were only the two of us but Pietro took time to explain the wine, history and philosophy and the wines we tasted were exceptional and we purchased a few cases to ship back home. Thank you to you and Winetourism as well for making the booking and organisation so easy.

The wine tasting was simply perfect. The wine tasting was simply perfect. We found the place easily. Camilla - who was our guide - spoke very good English and she was so knowledgeable and nice. The wine was very good, the aperitif that came along with the wine was very tasty. My friend whose birthday gift was this trip said that she was very happy. Hence our goal was met! Thank you for helping us finding this winery. We’ll try others too.

The wine tasting itself was great fun and we learnt a lot Our visit to Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano was very enjoyable thank you. The tour was really interesting and informative and the English spoken by the guide was excellent. The wine tasting itself was great fun and we learnt a lot. I’d thoroughly recommend the both. Thank you for your very prompt response to my enquiry - a five hour turn around I believe from initial contact to starting the tour itself.

We were pleasantly surprised It was nice. The owner explained it well and was very friendly. Wines were very tasty. This was true for all cantinas we visited through your website. We learned a lot about the wine making process and grapes. Casa Benna and Cantina Ortenzi had a very beautiful location and the best food to accompany the wine on top of it. I can recommend you to advertise this on your website. We were pleasantly surprised when we visited them and enjoyed the rest of our day exploring the village or area. About winetourism: you did a great job, all of you.…

Would definitely recommend this experience We found the wine tasting experience 10/10, booking was really easy and good communication. There was a little confusion at first when we arrived, lost in translation or we didn't give enough information. but was rectified very quickly by the staff. I think it was Catia who gave us the (second ) wine tasting. She was excellent and very knowledgeable. The museum was very interesting and was great to hear about the history of the wines in the area.
