Pisa Wine Tasting & Food Tour
Pisa is world-famous for its landmarks: the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the University of Pisa (founded in 1343), the Arno River, the Botanical Garden, and Knights’ Square. With a population of around 100,000 people—60,000 of whom are students—the city has a vibrant, youthful energy. But Pisa isn’t just about culture and history. It’s also a gateway to some of Tuscany’s most authentic culinary experiences. That’s why many wine tours from Pisa take you straight to Lucca — a charming town often called the capital of Tuscan winemaking.
Wine tasting in Pisa
At Forte Royal Cars, we’ve been organizing wine tours from Pisa for years. Our most popular experience is a visit to a family-run winery nestled in the Tuscan hills. There, you’ll discover the true taste of Tuscany — wines crafted with passion and passed down through generations.
During your wine tasting near Pisa, Italy, you’ll do more than just sip: you’ll learn every step of the process — from selecting the right grape variety and caring for the vines, to pest control, harvest, fermentation, and aging. We’ll also dive into the differences between red and white wine production.
You’ll be guided by a true wine expert, and the winemaker himself will share personal stories and insights that make every bottle special.
Alongside wine, you’ll sample another Tuscan treasure — extra virgin olive oil. Taste oils made from Pendolino, Frantoio, Leccino, and Moraiolo olives, grown right there on the hills surrounding the estate. Each drop bursts with rich flavor and aroma.
