We were so fortunate to find Angel and Enotropea Tours to fully immerse ourselves in Carmignano history and its extraordinary wines. Angel secured us by private car from our Airbnb in Carmignano. We visited Bacchereto and the vineyard and historic farm that was a hunting lodge part of the Medici hunting estate in the 1400’s. The history and the wines (Terre a Mano, Vin Santo, Sassocarlo) were memorable and a once in lifetime intimate tasting experience with the owner of the winery and Angel. Then, our day concluded with a visit to a much larger winery Tenuta di Capezzana dating back to wine and olive production on the land since 800. We had a guided tour of the cellars and wine tasting (Carmignano DOCG, Trebbiano) with a lovely lunch overlooking the beautiful vistas. Angel is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and the wines. What a love and appreciation we now have for the region of Carmignano and its extraordinary wines because of our new friend Angel! We are looking forward to a future tour with Enotropea and hope to see Angel again soon.

This was truly one the top vineyard tours we have done in Italy. Our guide for the day was Fabian. He was not only enthusiastic but knowledgeable about the wine and vineyards but also the entire region. We were so happy with all the information he was able to provide. The vineyards were so different from one another. Each vineyard was loaded with their own history from WWII information to stories of Leonardo's Grandmother's home in the area. The meal provided at the Fattoria Di Bacchereto vineyard was so Italian authentic it brought tears to my eyes. We enjoyed their gracious hospitality along with the delicious food. We found ourselves not wanting to leave. We feel this wine region is a little hidden jewel. The wines were all divine!!!! We give this tour our highest recommendations!
