I'm Simone Vergamini, "Best Sommelier of Tuscany 2023", 3rd place in the Best Sommelier of Italy 2018, 2021, 2022, and it will be a pleasure to accompany you to discover the best wineries. During the journeys I will tell you the history of the area and its traditions, the vines and the peculiarities of the area. It will be a pleasure to answer your questions and I will put all my knowledge at your service so that you will go home enriched.
We will visit 2 wineries representing the denominations of the province of Lucca (Colline Lucchesi and Montecarlo DOC) and, after having touched the vineyards and visited the cellars, we will taste the wines produced in combination with local products.
I love my job and I constantly travel to discover the best wineries: only small wineries with high quality wines, where you can feel at home, welcomed with passion and professionalism.

There aren’t enough words to describe how excellent our experience on this wine tour. We were greeted at the meeting place and driven to the winery. The accommodations for one of our guests were met happily! The education of the region in Tuscany and the wines started during our drive to the vineyard and continued during the tours. Fascinating history! The food served was excellent and presented beautifully. The wine was delicious and it was a joy to taste the variety that was served. Simone was wonderful. The entire group was overwhelmed about the experience! The personal touch of the private tour made it even more special. It truly was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you so very much!

Simone provided the four of us with a tour of two wineries in Lucca and Montecarlo that managed to be both relaxed and highly informative. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about the wines of Tuscany, Simone is also unusually genuine and personable. It was a real pleasure to spend the afternoon with him tasting great wine. Highly recommended.

We had a great afternoon with Simone visiting wineries in Montecarlo and Cappella. We were picked up / dropped off near our apartment, so everything was super convenient. Simone shared his detailed knowledge not only of the wines that we were tasting, but also of the other local grape varieties and wine styles produced in the area. The locations of the wineries and views from their terraces were extremely pleasing to the eye and contributed greatly to the overall experience whilst tasting the wines ! It was also good to taste the olive oils that both produced and we came away with samples of those too. Well worth going to the trouble of organizing a Wine Tour with Simone if you are staying in the area as his depth of subject knowledge and relationships with smaller local producers will ensure a very personalized experience.

My wife and I booked a private tour that included two wineries in Tuscany around Lucca. Our sommelier guide, Simone (Simon in English), picked us up at our hotel at 10.00 and we returned by 14.45. Our guide provided a ton of in-depth information about wine in Tuscany in addition to other historic and cultural facts during our drive and during the winery experiences. Light food in addition to the wine tastings was included and everything was setup for us when we arrived at the wineries. The experience was worth the cost and we would do it again.

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Simone drove my husband and me to two different wineries. With his helpful guidance, we toured the vineyards, followed the wine making process, and tasted the delicious wines and appetizers. The scenery was beautiful, the conversation delightful, and the wine added to the experience. We highly recommend Simone and his wine tour.
