Bolgheri

Distance: 40 km

An ancient village of Lombard origin, Bolgheri was made famous by the verses of the poem “Davanti San Guido” by Italian poet Giosuè Carducci. It is reached via the iconic road lined with cypress trees, described in the poem as “the cypresses that in Bolgheri rise straight and tall, from San Guido in a double row…”

The beauty of this place, popular throughout the year, is truly idyllic: olive groves, vineyards, and traditional stone houses lie gently across the hills, creating an atmosphere of timeless charm.

The visit begins at the main entrance gate, marked by an impressive castle. From here, you can explore the village’s artisan shops, wine bars, and taverns, where you can taste or purchase delicious local specialties.
