How to Plan an Italian Vineyard Tour
Italy is an ideal destination for travel as it contains any and all aspects you might seek for a trip. There are fine examples of ancient and more modern architecture along with high fashion and some of the world’s finest vineyards. If you want to plan a trip to Italy to experience these wines, you must consider many aspects of the weather and seasonal travel conditions to ensure you are there at the prime time.
Schedule Travel
Your first step in planning an Italian vineyard tour is to arrange your flight to the Tuscan region of Italy. Pisa is the most commonly used airport in Tuscany although you can also fly into Florence and travel from the larger city into the more rural areas of Tuscany. You can also arrive via train or by car if you have been visiting other areas of Italy. Harvest time can vary each year according to weather patterns, so be aware of the current growing season if you are hoping to catch the harvest. Otherwise, schedule your tour anytime during the year as most vineyards are operational in some regard year round.
Arrange Lodging
One of the most exciting aspects of a Tuscan holiday is staying in an authentic Tuscan villa. Villa rentals in Tuscany are affordable and give you the opportunity to experience a truly remarkable vacation. If you are traveling with a prearranged tour group, you may have your lodging and flight scheduled for you, but it might be worth staying on an extra few days simply to experience Tuscan life on your own.
Arrange Wine Tours
Wine e food tours in Tuscany are as abundant as the grapes harvested every year. Ask friends who have traveled to the region previous for recommendations as well as researching the various vineyards online to select tours. Don’t book all of your tours in advance as the locals may be able to offer insight into the quality of various vineyards and disclose information about smaller vineyards not well publicized. With these you can see the inner workings of a vineyard without any commercial aspects.
