Do you want to discover the secrets of the best wineries in Italy? Do you want to plan the trip of your life and sip away through the best Italian wineries? Then, this book is for you!
This is the second in the I Love Italy. Wine instalment of fun and fact-filling your pockets about the world of Italian wine. As if our previous wisdom wasn't too much already, we are back this year with the next book in our series - the ultimate guide for wine enthusiasts looking to explore the vineyards of Italy in person. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the picturesque landscapes of Piemonte, this is the perfect handbook to take on the trip, but also beforehand to learn the journey ahead of the country's most iconic and historic vineyards. That old saying still applies to the best holidays - if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.
The book begins with a short introduction to the history and culture of Italian wine, including an overview of the different grape varieties and wine-making techniques used throughout the country. We don't spend too long on this as, ideally, you have the extended version of this from the first book, The Italian Wine Connoisseur. Shameless plug if I say so myself, but genuinely it saves on doubling up.
It then goes on to explore the different wine regions of Italy, including Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, and more. It has dedicated chapters for each specific region, including the best local vineyards, wineries, and wines. It will tell you how and when to visit, what you can expect to find from the experience, and which groups of people each may suit.
The book includes our trusty hand-drawn maps, illustrations and practical information such as opening hours, making it easy for readers to plan their own vineyard tour.
With The Ultimate Italian Wine Tour Pocket Guide in hand, readers can plan their tour of the country's most famous vineyards and discover the secrets behind producing some of Italy's most iconic wines. This book is a must-read for anyone planning a trip to Italy's wine country or those interested in wine, travel and Italian culture.
You'll discover:
- Lots of maps to guide you through Italy's wine regions
- Italian History of winemaking, including what you will see and experience on a tour
- How to plan your trip
- Things to know - heads up on times of year/seasons/trends / where it is expensive/easy to get to?

And much more!
