Life is Grape in Tuscany

We are Rebecca & Pierre Gouttenoire.

We have a strong focus on local food and wine, and through our tour operator Grape Tours, we offer day tours from Florence but also multiple-day tours in other regions (www.tuscan-wine-tours.com).

In 2021 we opened a cheese and wine shop called Formaggioteca Terroir which you can visit in downtown Florence, Italy (www.formaggiotecaterroir.it) - it was awarded Cheese Bar of the Year in 2023 by the italian Cheese Awards.

As of 2022, we acquired an old Tuscan farmhouse in Chianti Classico called Campo Sasso, and in 2024 it is featuring on HGTV/MAX "Fixer to Fabulous - Italiano" (www.camposasso.com).

So we keep pretty busy but also enjoy doing random videos of different things, from wineries, to villages, recipes, real estate and just things happening in our lives. Please follow along and come see us when you are in Florence!

Life is Grape in Tuscany

It’s been a few weeks…holidays and all. But tomorrow a new video is out that I’m really excited about. It features one of the great artisan crafts of Florence: jewelry! Oh and this dramatic photo was from today - I just can’t help myself capturing every moment I can of beautiful Florence.
