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.

You will be picked up either at your ship or inside the cruise terminal if you dock at that pier. DO NOT TAKE A SHUTTLE, DO NOT GO TO PIAZZA DELL'ARSENALE! Your driver will be waiting for you in the area designated for private drivers, holding a sign with your name on it.
