Raise a glass and say cheers to an excursion that showcases the beauty, history and wine of Tuscany. Departing from your ship, you'll board a motorcoach for the leisurely ride through the impressive Tuscan countryside. Drink up the colorful sights as you head north through a landscape of city streets, sprawling vistas once occupied by Romans and villages erected in the Middle Ages. As you make your way to one of the area's renowned wine cellars, you'll disembark for free time to wander in one of these enchanting villages: Montecarlo di Lucca, set atop a hill overlooking olive groves and vineyards, boasts thick stone walls and a fortress dating back to 1333. Or you may visit the hidden gem known as Lari, another hilltop village whose town center is dominated by a medieval castle. Back on the coach, you'll continue on to the wine cellar for tastings and local delicacies.
Special Notes:
Please note the tour may run in reverse. You will visit either Montecarlo di Lucca or Lari. Montecarlo di Lucca and Lari villages are extremely small; there are a few shops and each village consists of one road. Most shops are closed on statutory holidays and on Sundays. The drive between La Spezia and the village is approximately 60 minutes each way.Details
