We will meet in Piazza Garibaldi, next to the statue of the same name, where our local guide will be waiting for us. We will start walking through the streets of the historic center, in search of the more traditional flavors of local cuisine ... How about a platter of Tuscan cheeses and cold cuts with a good Spritz? We will taste these delicacies in one of the oldest wine bars in Pisa! Of course, not even a portion of cecina can be missing, a very thin focaccia prepared with chickpea flour, a real must of Pisan gastronomy and the típical pizza we made in the city which is different from other places in Italy. During the tour we will discover restaurants known only by the locals, where we will be delighted by the typical dishes of the gastronomy of Pisa, such as the wild board pasta and the pappa al pomodoro pasta típical of the city. Everything with a good glass of wine or an artigianal beer. We will finish with the dessert cantuccini con Vin santo really típical of Tuscany.

This is an impressive tour of the famous sangiovese wineries of Tuscany.The guides were knowledgeable about all significant aspects of wine-making that contribute to the quality of the wine: climate, soil composition, harvesting, fermentation, bottling, and aging. Three to four wines are offered for tasting at each winery, and lunches are served. Highly recommended.

What an amazing day! It started with truffle hunting with Roberto and his two dogs - Ori and Chloe! We learned a lot about truffle hunting and how the dogs are trained. Chloe was 'in training' and it was fun to see how Roberto used both dogs. They found about 12 truffles in all of various sizes! Then we headed to a small family winery where we ate the fruits of our labor!!! We had a 4 course 'absolutely delicious' meal, tasted a lot of great wines, in addition to olive oil and honey! We even bought a bottle of wine to take with us and watched Sylvia add the DOCG label by hand (which are closely tracked by the region)! We had a great tour guide, Paelo, with us the entire day! He picked us us at our farmhouse, was our translator when needed, was very courteous and informative! I would highly recommend this very unique experience! And I would recommend Tuscany Private Tours. They were very easy to communicate with and very responsive!
