Tuscan Flavors: Cooking Experience and Wine Tasting from Livorno
Overview
Escape the bustle of the port and dive into the flavors of Tuscany with this hands-on culinary adventure in the hills of Montecarlo di Lucca.
Just 25 minutes east of Lucca, this private experience takes place at a scenic winery surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. Roll up your sleeves for a relaxed 2-hour cooking class, where you’ll prepare classic dishes using fresh local ingredients — and plenty of laughter.
Afterwards, sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor with a light Tuscan lunch, perfectly paired with the estate’s own wines.
It’s authentic, delicious, and just close enough to the ship to feel like a dream without the rush.
