Bolgheri is not just a place — it is a revelation. Tucked between the Tyrrhenian Sea and rolling Tuscan hills, this quiet hamlet has quietly become the soul of the Super Tuscan story. Here, estates like Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Guado al Tasso have redefined modern winemaking — not by following tradition, but by rewriting it.

Yet the real Bolgheri lives behind unmarked gates and handwritten invitations. It is whispered in vertical tastings of unreleased vintages, in conversations with winemakers whose names are etched on collectors’ bottles, and in family dinners where wine is poured from memory, not menu.

With Mavericks, you don’t visit Bolgheri — you are welcomed into it. Stay in an 8th-century castle. Walk vineyard rows with those who tend them. Dine under candlelight in places that rarely host strangers. This is not a tour. It is an immersion — intimate, quiet, and unforgettable.

For those traveling with family, friends, or fellow patrons of the craft, we offer fully curated, turnkey journeys: villa stays, private transport, estate access, and introductions that simply don’t exist online.

Some wines tell stories. Bolgheri creates them — and in this journey, you become part of the telling.
