From Livorno: Cooking Class & Wine Tasting in Tuscany + Pisa

Enjoy a private cooking class with a professional chef at a winery in Tuscany. Savor the flavors of your creations during a delicious lunch with wine.
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.
