"Wine and Olive Oil Tasting Near Lucca The area of gently rolling hills just to the northeast of Lucca is famous not only for its impressive villas, but also for olive oil and wine. A perfect gastronomic stop-off between visits to the magnificent Villa Mansi and Villa Torrigiani, the 30-hectare farm estate Colle di Bordocheo produces both, and offers tastings and tours for visitors. Estate wines such as the complex, spicy Picchio Rosso (a blend of sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet grapes) and the white Bianco dell'Oca (chardonnay, vermentino, sauvignon) marry well with the house extra virgin and platters of local cheeses and foccaccie . Book ahead and you can add lasagne and cold cuts to the basic €15 per head package, making a fine, rustic lunch. There are also apartments for rent on the estate, which lies in a strategic position for visits to the coast, the lush, mountainous Garfagnana region, Florence , and, of course, Lucca."

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience at Colle di Bordocheo. The staff was very welcoming and we were treated with great care. Lorenzo was incredibly kind and patient, giving us a detailed tour of the wine production process. The wines were divine, as was the olive oil and the delicious accompaniments. All their vineyards and olive trees are pesticide-free, which we truly appreciated. After the tasting, we had the chance to walk through the vineyards and even bought some wine to take home. Highly recommended!

We had an unforgettable experience at this beautiful winery. The tour was warm, detailed, and full of passion. The wine tasting was simply amazing, with each selection thoughtfully presented. Lorenzo was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and his insights made the experience even more special. A heartfelt thank you to the owner for the generous personal gift—it was a truly touching gesture. I’ll never forget this visit and can’t wait to return!

This wine tasting was really a highlight in our trip. Antonnella gives great explanations and her smile and passion are the "cherry on the cake" (french expression) of the whole experience. Everything was perfect from the walk, the wine, the food and the talks. We recommend it to every one that want to meet real passionate people of their land and product. And on the top our dog was warmly welcomed and felt in love with Antonnella.

Our family of 30 visited Colle di Bordocheo this past summer for an afternoon of touring the vineyard and a delicious lunch tasting. We enjoyed our tour from beginning to end as Antonella was so personable, knowledgeable and engaging. In fact it was clear how passionate the entire staff is about their wine and olive oil. All the wine and olive oil tastings, plus the food pairings, were wonderful! Colle di Bordocheo is a short trip from Lucca and highly recommended!

My wife and I had a fantastic time. Being from the Willamette valley in Oregon, we’ve visited a number of wineries over the years. This is a 10/10. Informative, friendly and very inviting. We learned so much about Italian wine and the process of growing olives and making olive oil. Well worth your time and money.

We spent a fantastic day with Antonella, she was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wine and it gave us some real insight into the oil and wine from the vineyard. After a few glasses of wine paired with delicious cheese and bruschetta we bought a few things with no pressure and left very happy! If only we could have fitted more into our suitcase!! Thank you so much Antonella.

The tour of the vineyards and tasting was an amazing experience! The olive oil and wine were the best that my husband and I have ever had, and the food they served in between the samplings was incredibly delicious. The tour guide was so kind and welcoming, and you can tell that he is very passionate about his family business's craft and the art/science of making olive oil and wine. If you have time to do one sightseeing experience while visiting Lucca, this would be the place I would recommend you try! It is also a very romantic idea for an excursion for when you are on your honeymoon.

Great winery. Fantastic host who as super knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour with rich history. We had an amazing lunch that was paired with all the wine we tried. The virgin oil tasting was pretty cool too. The wine was good. They ship to the US. Shipping was more expensive than the wine but if you like the wine it’s worth the the price.
