Who's Grape?!
Pierre & Rebecca Gouttenoire — partners in life and in business — bring over 25 years of wine experience each to their shared passion.
Rebecca, originally from Denmark, fell in love with wine while living in Italy — where she also met Pierre during a wine tour. Pierre, a seasoned winemaker from Bordeaux and a former Master of Wine candidate, brought deep expertise and a collaborative spirit. Together, they’ve grown both their family and their shared vision.
Through Grape Tours, they proudly guide guests to the region’s finest wineries, always blending insight with experience. Their tours go beyond tastings — they aim to deepen understanding and foster a lasting connection to the land, its wines, and its culture.
At Formaggioteca Terroir in Florence, this connection continues. Their cozy cheese and wine bar showcases artisanal cheeses and carefully selected wines, celebrating local producers. Guests can relax with a curated cheese plate and a glass of wine, or take home some of the exceptional products that fill the shop.
And then there's Campo Sasso — their beautifully restored Tuscan farmhouse nestled among olive groves and vineyards in the hills of Chianti Classico. Home to artisan cheese-aging cellars and an experimental agroforestry vineyard, Campo Sasso brings together Pierre and Rebecca's passion for agriculture, food, wine and the Tuscan way of life. As it enters a new chapter in 2027, the farmhouse will become a place to share authentic experiences, meaningful encounters and the flavours of the Tuscany they call home.
We are B Corp certified since April 2026.
Grape Tours
Grape Tours is our boutique tour company, offering immersive wine experiences with roundtrip departures from Florence into the heart of Tuscany’s wine country.
We run ten unique small-group tours, each designed to showcase the diversity of Tuscany’s vineyards and wineries. Along the way, guests learn about the winemaking process, taste exceptional local wines, and take in the stunning countryside.
All tours are led by our passionate and fun-loving Grape Guides, and groups are intentionally kept small — no more than 8 guests per tour — to ensure a personal, relaxed atmosphere.
In addition to daily tours, we offer private group experiences and host "Grapetrotters" multi-day trips to renowned wine regions across Italy and France throughout the year.
Formaggioteca Terroir
Formaggioteca Terroir is a charming cheese shop and wine bar located in the Oltrarno of Florence.
The shop’s curated selection is primarily focused on Italy’s rich cheese heritage, featuring some of the finest offerings from Tuscany and beyond. However, thanks to Pierre’s roots in the Roquefort region of France, the French cheese selection is equally impressive.
The word “Terroir” speaks to the unique environmental factors, like soil and climate, that shape the flavors of food and wine from a particular region. It also encompasses the invaluable knowledge and traditions passed down by local farmers, deeply rooted in the land.
At Formaggioteca Terroir, we celebrate this connection to the land, not only in our cheeses but also in the wines and other carefully sourced products that line our shelves and feature on our menu. Every item is chosen to enhance the authentic, Italian gastronomic experience that is central to the country’s lifestyle.
Campo Sasso
Authentic Food & Wine Experiences in Chianti Classico
Campo Sasso is our beautifully restored Tuscan farmhouse, nestled among olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees in the peaceful hills of Chianti Classico, just 35 minutes from Florence.
More than a traditional farmhouse, Campo Sasso reflects Pierre and Rebecca's passion for the Tuscan countryside, artisan craftsmanship and the pleasures of good food and wine. It is home to our cheese-aging cellars, where selected artisan cheeses mature for Formaggioteca Terroir in Florence, as well as an experimental agroforestry vineyard inspired by Tuscany's agricultural heritage.
Beginning in 2027, Campo Sasso opens a new chapter, welcoming guests for intimate food and wine experiences that celebrate the flavours, traditions and people of Tuscany. Always in small groups, these encounters are designed to create genuine connections with the land and the craftsmanship behind its exceptional products.
Part of the Jollie ecosystem, Campo Sasso embodies our shared philosophy of authenticity, regenerative agriculture and meaningful hospitality. A special place where we look forward to sharing the Tuscany we love.
