Detailed itinerary

The beautiful walled city of Lucca has something for everyone. Besides being very elegant (to rival Florence in its handsomeness), the town is full of chic boutiques, great restaurants, and awesome gelato. The massive fortification wall that still completely encircles the city is in perfect condition and has been transformed into a tranquil pedestrian greenspace, which makes Lucca idea for families and active adults. You can rent bikes and cruise the wall or simply stroll or sit in the shade of the big trees. There are also many architectural points of interest, such as Piazza dell'Amphiteatro (built on the site of a Roman stadium, the remains of which are still visible) and Palazzo Pfanner (a historic dwelling with a formal garden).

After a pleasant, twenty-five-minute drive through the Tuscan countryside, we will arrive at Fattoria Carmignani, a small, family-run winery in the Montecarlo di Lucca wine region. After a brief tour of the property, you will sit down to an ample, homemade lunch with 6-8 wine pairings.

Lunch includes antipasto (local cured meats and cheeses, toasted Tuscan bread with seasonal toppings), a pasta or rice dish (or something equivalent made with seasonal ingredients), dessert, and fresh local fruit.

Kindly note: The cost of lunch is NOT included in the rate. You'll pay for lunch directly at the winery.
