Panoramic Elba Island & Wine Tasting at La Chiusa Winery

Panoramic Elba Island & Wine Tasting at La Chiusa Winery

From Portoferraio, enjoy a delightful drive to the southern mountainside village of Capoliveri. Enchanting and full of charm, Capoliveri preserves an almost medieval atmosphere in its architecture, both sober and elegant. Located in the heart of Elba’s mining area, between the iron mines of Mount Calamita and Mount Ginevro, the village offers superb panoramic views over the gulfs of Lacona and Campo. Below, a wild headland covered with bush, agaves and prickly pears meets some of the island’s most beautiful coastline, with dramatic cliffs visited by sea gulls and small bays with crystal-clear waters.

Stroll through the twisting old streets, then enjoy leisure time to browse the small shops and boutiques. Your next stop is the 17th-century country wine farm “La Chiusa,” beautifully set among vineyards and olive trees with views over the sea. As with many historic estates on Elba, it is said to have once hosted Napoleon during his exile.

During your visit, explore the estate’s cellar to see how the wine is produced, followed by a tasting of the vineyard’s passiti wines made from Aleatico and Ansonica grapes—classic varieties of the island. The tasting, served in the garden facing the sea, will be complemented by assorted light snacks.

After this pleasant interlude, a short walk will take you back to your transport for the return drive to Portoferraio.
