Full description
Climb aboard and let us take you on a journey to discover a hidden side of Elba, far from the usual tourist trails!
On this 3-hour jeep tour of Capoliveri, you’ll travel through the Tenuta delle Ripalte estate, nestled within the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, taking in breathtaking sea views, lush vineyards, ancient bunkers and old mines.
And after soaking up nature and adventure, the most delicious part awaits: a visit to a boutique winery designed by architect Tobia Scarpa, followed by a generous tasting of three local wines!
What we will do
We’ll meet at the time indicated at the meeting point in Capoliveri (LI). The guide who will be accompanying us on our excursion will be waiting for us there.
Once we’ve boarded the jeep, we’ll set off on a tour of the 450 hectares of the Tenuta delle Ripalte, within the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. Along the way, we’ll drive through the vineyards and enjoy spectacular sea views, whilst listening to the guide recount the history and legends of the ancient estate, as well as learning about the characteristics of the soil, the biological stages of the vine and viticulture techniques.
We’ll make several stops along the route, during which we’ll get out of the jeep to explore points of historical and natural interest up close: for example, we’ll admire ancient bunkers, old mines, cliffs and vineyards. This first part of the excursion in the jeep will last about 1 hour.
We will then head to the modern, designer winery, designed by architect Tobia Scarpa and part of the Toscana Wine Architecture Circuit. Here, we will tour the premises and learn more about the winemaking process and the drying of the grapes used for Aleatico.
Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a tasting of three wines from the island: a Spumante Brut Rosato made from Aleatico grapes, a Vermentino white and an Alicante red. We’ll pair the wines with typical local produce, including pecorino cheeses of varying ages, cured meats from free-range livestock, and fresh schiaccia seasoned with olive oil from the Island of Elba. This part of the tour and tasting will last approximately 2 hours.
The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
