WHAT'S GRAPE ABOUT US

Grape Tours is a specialized wine tour operator with over 15 years of experience, founded by Pierre & Rebecca Gouttenoire.

Rebecca is of Danish origin, but she found her passion for wine in Italy where the couple met (on a wine tour!) and from where wine tours go into Tuscany daily. Pierre was a winemaker in Bordeaux and with his expertise Grape Tours got its roots in France.

Great pride is taken showing guests the best, always with an educative angle experiencing the best wineries.
Whether just a day tour in Tuscany or in Provence or a multiple-day journey to another wonderful wine region - for real Grapetrotters!
Our wine tours are hands-on and led us personally or by our small team of true experts with a special focus on authentic experiences, great wines & local foods.
Let us show you this Grape World!

Our Grape guide will give you all the necessary background to understand the region, whilst you visit different wineries with various tastings. Lunch is typical French with delicacies of the region and wine to wash it all down.

PROVENCE

Cheese & Wine

Our love for cheese & wine has taken a fun new twist. Due to the pandemic, we've had time to rethink and reset our priorities. This led to the opening of a Cheese & Wine shop in central Florence in the spring of 2021. It is located in our Grape Tours office in our favourite neighbourhood on the southside of the river Arno, in the area of San Niccolò.

Here you can visit us and purchase some great artisan cheese and wine, or sit down for a tasting of all the delicious products we've gathered from our journeys around Italy and France.
