Tasting in a farmhouse in Versilia

Are you ready to live a unique experience immersed in the flavors of the Versilia area? It will be a journey into taste through the choice of wines, food and conviviality. You will be able to enjoy our food and wine offer in a place in close contact with nature and with the traditions of the Versilia area.

You will taste the oil produced by the company which comes from two olive groves and four different varieties: “Il Quercetano” harvested in the Seravezza olive grove, “Il Leccino”, “Il Moraiolo” and “Il Frantoiano”. The vast choice of extra virgin olive oil allows you to give different flavors to the recipes.

In Azzano, a small town at the foot of Monte Altissimo, the vegetables are grown on the family land, which will be offered during the tasting according to local recipes.

An opportunity to get to know the area, its products and relax surrounded by nature with family or friends.

Versilia for foodies day tour

Northern Tuscany has plenty of foody treats from the sea and the land. You will certainly enjoy meeting the Triglia family working from generations in its ham factory in Gombitelli . This family run company, in the cosy frame of their food shop, will open the doors to show you the taste and aromas of their artisanal products. A walk around the ’700 village will allow you get a shot of the panorama of Lucca on one side and the Tyrrhenian sea on the other side. On our way we will stop at another farm producing extra virgin olive oil and learn about the making of this local product. Not only this farm was formerly owned by Maria Teresa, Duchess of Lucca, but it has a perfectly preserved olive oil mill, which will allow you to learn about the different methods of production of this ancient product.

Alternatively, we can visit a honey factory or wine cellars.

This tiny village on the hills of Camaiore has become famous to many gourmet and foodies for its production of sausages, ham and a particular pick lard, which is different from the Colonnata white one. There are two ham factories here selling around Italy and abroad, which sounds amazing compared to the number of ihabitants and houses in the village. Gombitelli is the proof that love for tradition and family run companies can last over centuries.
