The Bolgheri wine road
The most famous route on the Etruscan Coast, ten minutes from Bibbona: the cypress avenue, the village and the wineries that wrote the history of the supertuscans. One day is enough to understand its character.
The Bolgheri wine road
From Bibbona: 10-20 km
- 9:3001
Bolgheri, the village and the cypresses
Park outside the walls and walk the cypress avenue. The village is small: castle, square and shops take about an hour.
- 10:3002
First winery: the heart of the DOC
Choose a guided visit through vineyard, cellar and barrel room. Book ahead: this is the busiest slot of the day.
- 13:0003
Lunch in the village
A Tuscan pause with cured meats, pecorino and a bottle of Bolgheri. Book the table too, especially in summer.
- 15:0004
Second winery or wine bar
If you would rather not drive much, stop at a wine bar for a guided tasting. Otherwise head to Castagneto for a second visit.
- 17:0005
Castagneto Carducci
The upper village dominates the coast: a walk through narrow streets and a view that reaches the sea.
- 20:0006
Dinner in Bibbona

How many wineries can I visit in a day in Bolgheri?
Two is ideal: a full visit in the morning and a tasting in the afternoon. Distances are short, but every tasting deserves time.
Can I visit Bolgheri without a car?
From Bibbona you need a taxi or private driver: public transport to the wineries is limited. The village itself is easy to reach by car, with parking outside the walls.
What is there to see in Bolgheri besides wineries?
The cypress avenue, the castle, the square and the village shops. Nearby, the San Guido church and the white roads through the vineyards.
