We begin the tour with Livorno, an almost unknown cosmopolitan city of the Renaissance founded by the Medici. Livorno will amaze you with its two fortresses, the central market, the Venice district, a prominent promenade, the Terrazza Mascagni, and the panoramic point Montenero where the Santuario of the Virgin of the Graces is located.
After visiting the major attractions, we will head to the Bolgheri wine area, a popular destination for wine lovers (Cabernet Sauvignon grape area).
Our first stop will be in an excellent Bolgheri winery for tasting. Afterwards we will stop at the medieval village of Bolgheri, where you can take a walk and have lunch. Later we will go to Castagneto Carducci, which takes its name from the name of the famous Italian poet Giosue’ Carducci. This medieval village is gorgeous and not often visited by tourists.
On every tour we give you a grounding of local history, curiosities and traditions we show you the main sights and places for photo-stop.
Please note that in some areas of the historic town going for a walk and visit will be more enjoyable rather than sightseeing from the vehicle.
