About this tour
A nine-hour coastal exploration from Florence combining art, wine and seaside dining. Travel through the walled town of Lucca with a licensed guide, then to Pietrasanta, a small creative hub tucked into Tuscany's Versilia region.

The itinerary weaves together Renaissance architecture, contemporary art galleries and regional Bocelli wines paired with a four-course meal.

What to expect
You'll start with a guided tour of Lucca's compact centre, navigating narrow lanes between Renaissance buildings and atop the old city walls. The drive west takes you to Pietrasanta, where you'll wander galleries and artist workshops before settling at the Alpemare Beach Club. Lunch unfolds slowly: four courses paired with the estate's own wines, water and soft drinks included. The restaurant overlooks the Bocelli family villas and the sea beyond. Expect relaxed pacing rather than hurried sightseeing—this tour prioritises atmosphere and taste over ticking boxes.
