Overview

This excursion from Livorno is perfect for folks in search of a hands-on culinary experience not too far from the port. The cooking class is private and takes place at a winery in the Montecarlo di Lucca wine region, about 25 minutes east of Lucca. The lesson lasts about 3 hours and is followed by lunch of the dishes prepared, accompanied by the estate's wines.

If you wish, we can include a brief stop in Pisa to take photos of the Leaning Tower and other monuments on the Field of Miracles. There is no additional charge for this option, which will add about 30 minutes to the duration of the day.

Kindly note: The cost of the cooking class (130 Euro pp) is NOT included in the rate. You'll pay for that on the spot, directly to the winery.

  • Private transportation
  • English-speaking driver who will give commentaries while traveling (cannot accompany you on foot).

What to expect

After a 45-minute drive from Livorno, we'll arrive in the countryside just east of Lucca, in the Montecarlo di Lucca wine region. Fattoria Carmignani is a family-run boutique winery, a simple but classic country estate that has been producing quality wines with love for decades. The Carmignani family has been winemakers in this area since 1386.

The cooking lesson is hands-on and lasts 3 hours. It will be followed by a lunch (approx. 2 hours) of the dishes you've prepared. A guided tasting of seven of the estate's wines will accompany the meal. A walk through the vineyards with the winemaker completes the experience.

Vegan and vegetarian options are available. Food intolerances can be accommodated.

Transportation is included and we also offer the option of a brief stop in Pisa at the end of the day, if you wish (no additional cost).

In either case (with or without Pisa), the drive back to port lasts about 45 minutes.
