About this experience
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.
