What to expect
You'll arrive and begin with a structured tasting of six different wines, learning to identify aromas and nuances with your sommelier guide. Halfway through, the focus shifts to hands-on blending: you'll experiment with different ratios of the wines you've tasted, adjusting until you're happy with your creation's balance and character.
Once your blend is finalised, you'll bottle it and apply a personalised label. The session wraps with light Tuscan food pairings and your completion certificate. The whole experience is designed to teach you how professional winemakers approach composition rather than just drinking wine passively.

Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts or curious learners aged roughly 18+ who want to understand blending technique firsthand — not a party activity or pure indulgence tour. You'll be standing and concentrating for two hours; no special fitness is needed but it's not a sit-down experience. The workshop assumes basic English-language instruction; confirm if a translator is available. Infants can attend in a pram or stroller. Public transport nearby makes it accessible without a car. Price, group size and exact Tuscan dishes aren't specified — check with the operator. Peak tourist season may affect availability.
