Franciacorta Wine Tour with Driver: wineries, Lake Iseo & airport/hotel transfers
Why choose a driver (and why it works year-round)
Franciacorta wine tour with driver: enjoy winery tastings and Lake Iseo with zero stress—no parking, no ZTL, and a safe return after tastings. With a dedicated driver you enjoy the day with zero stress: no parking issues, no ZTL restrictions to worry about, safe return after tastings, and optimised timing between stops. It’s a perfect destination 12 months a year—spring and autumn for vineyard colours, summer for the lake, winter for gourmet experiences and SPA retreats across the Brescia area. Multiple airports serve the region at short distances: Milan Orio al Serio BGY ~38 km (≈24 mi); Verona VRN ~75 km (≈47 mi); Milan Linate LIN ~80 km (≈50 mi); Milan Malpensa MXP ~110 km (≈68 mi).

Franciacorta, the Wine Route & Lake Iseo: what to expect
Promoted by the Franciacorta Consortium and the Strada del Franciacorta (Wine Route), the area blends wine, nature and historic towns: routes through vineyards, art and landscapes sloping down to the lake. It’s ideal for technical tastings and authentic cuisine, with experiences available all year.

Safety first: tastings yes—driving no
In Italy, sanctions start above 0.5 g/l BAC (Art. 186); for novice/professional drivers a zero-tolerance rule applies (Art. 186-bis). A private driver lets you enjoy the experience fully within the law.
