What To Expect
I am Simone Vergamini, "Best Sommelier of Tuscany 2023, 3rd place at the Best Sommelier of Italy 2018, 2021 and 2022. We can organize the tasting directly at your home or at the hotel where you are on holiday in the city, or in the surrounding hills (within a radius of 15 km from the city center, for longer distances may be charged a supplement)
The experience always includes an introduction to wine tasting, the history of the territory and wineries. We will then move on to the tasting of 5 wines accompanied by bread, cheese and oil from local production. These are wines selected from small producers, mainly organic certified, in love with their work and the territory.
We can organize the tasting directly at your home or at the hotel where you are on holiday, even in the center of Lucca.
I'll take care of everything and you won't have to think about anything!
I will set the table with tasting tablecloths and serve you wines in professional glasses!
At the end of the tasting I will leave the bottles uncorked (if not finished :) so you can enjoy them during the holiday.
