Stain Your Shirt, Teeth, Heart & Soul
There’s nothing more memorable than truly experiencing a culture—up close, unfiltered, and at the table. At Grapestained, our mission is to bring people together through shared meals, meaningful connection, and handcrafted wine.
We craft sommelier-led wine tours, intimate tastings, and a storytelling newsletter that bring you into the heart of Italy’s small producers and family-run businesses—and beyond. Whether you're clinking glasses in a vineyard in Chianti, learning about Sangiovese from the source, or savoring Tuscan recipes at home with our Newsletter, The Spill, in hand, you're not just a traveler—you’re part of a global community that values authenticity, flavor, and stories worth remembering.
We invite curious travelers to step out of their comfort zones and into unforgettable, grape-stained experiences. Join Our Community of Wine-Loving Story Seekers
What Makes Us Unique
Sommelier Crafted Tours
Our Founder is a passionate Sommelier, professionally trained and certified as WSET3 in Florence, Italy. We are always in search of the most authentic and delicious wines, showcasing stories that stain our hearts. We partner with small businesses, enthusiastic and proud in the art of winemaking.
Local Experts
If you are taking a tour, then you should experience nothing but the best. Our goal is to showcase the authenticity of a culture and place. We team up with local experts whom are not only extremely knowledgeable and charismatic, but energetic and mesmerizing storytellers.
Authentic Adventures
The best way to experience any culture is to get out of your comfort zone by indulging in the local delicacies and customs. We proudly partner with local wineries, restaurants, chefs, guides, shops, and agriturismos. You will learn to make wine, hunt for truffles, hand craft pastas, and cure cheeses. Our team will guide you to the best bites, sips, views, and memories.
Hidden Gem Destinations
Traveling with us means taking the road less traveled. We have spent years exploring these destinations to create the most unique tours possible, and we are ready to share that with you. Our goal is not to take you to the most viral photospot, but to take you to the one in which you will have the most unforgettable and impactful experience.
Photo Memory Books
Grapestained was created by two professional and passionate photographers. Both of which have travel photography experience in over 50 countries, specializing in culture and landscape. Our mission for each adventure is for our travelers to live in the moment. Don't worry, we will capture it for you. We create photo books of the trip for you so that you don't have to!
Small Group and Private Tours
We focus on small group tours to make sure that our travelers have the most hospitable, intimate, and rewarding journey possible. Our group tours are set to a minimum of 4, maximum of 8 travelers. Join in on one of our 3-day, 5-day, and Grand Tour adventures on our Tours Page! If these dates and groups don't work for you, or you want to visit a different destination, reach out to us directly.
