The Itinerary: A Step-by-Step Look
The tour begins at the Residenza d’Epoca Cavaliere in Bibbona, a charming base with luxurious antique interiors. From here, you’ll hop into the Volkswagen New Beetle convertible, and enjoy a 15-minute drive along the scenic roads of the Tuscan countryside, passing rows of vineyards and olive groves. The relaxed pace allows you to soak in the views and get comfortable before heading into Bolgheri.
Bolgheri itself is the first major stop—rich in history and renowned for its wine, but on this tour, it’s all about capturing its essence through photos. The guide will take care of natural, candid shots as you walk through the picturesque streets or sit in a cozy bistro. Here, you might find yourself in “paparazzi style” photos, or dressed up for glamour shots—tailored to your preference.
Next, the tour continues with stops at hidden corners and “secret places”, including a scenic country lane with an isolated tower on a hill. It’s these less-known spots that often steal the show in photographs, offering authentic, quiet corners away from the crowds.
The highlight is reaching the cypress-lined avenue, regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful tree-lined roads by Forbes. As you stroll along this iconic stretch amid vineyards with the vintage convertible nearby, the photographer will capture your moments against this stunning backdrop.
Finally, the tour concludes with a sunset stop beneath the tower, where you can enjoy a glass of wine and some cold cuts and cheeses. Because the guide is also the driver, you can relax and savor your drinks without worrying about driving—an often underrated perk, especially after a day of wine tasting.
What’s Included & What’s Not
You’ll receive 20 professionally edited photos the following day, plus all the other shots taken during the tour—more than enough to find some favorites. The driver ensures smooth, fun transfers in the convertible, making each leg of the journey comfortable and stylish.
However, drinks in cafes or wine bars are at your expense, which makes sense since some photos are taken in more casual or relaxed settings where a glass of wine enhances the experience.
