Private half-day tour to Lari with visit
to a
traditional pasta factory and to a very
panoramic
and perfectly conserved medieval castle
|

A
pasta brand renowned all over the
world

The
castle of the Vicars in the middle
of the village
|
Even
if it is not famous on a large scale
yet, the handcrafted production
of pasta is also something Tuscany
can be proud of.
Arianna & Friends organizes half
day tours to a renowned artisan
pasta factory close to Pisa. An
English speaking personal tour leader
(on request also German, Spanish,
French, Italian or Russian) meets
you at your premises or at another
agreed meeting point and takes
you to a small family run pasta
factory that exports its production
in all the world and you will understand
why the Italians love this food so
much. In the end we will give you
a pack of local made pasta
as a gift. The factory is located
in a small medieval village called
Lari, where you can also enter a medieval
castle of the Vicars dating back
to the XIV Century with its gloomy
dungeons. After the visit you
are invited to taste a local cherry
liquor, typical produce of the
small village. The place is particularly
scenic since the view covers the whole
lower Arno valley, with a sight over
Pisa.

This is an email we got on
16th September 2011 from Anthea,
who spent a day with Arianna
visiting a medieval castle
and a small pasta factory
in Lari before getting to
an olive farm for a lunch
based on local specialities.
Come
stai, Arianna? It was very
nice meeting you - and thanks
much for a wonderful day exactly
a week ago. It's hard to believe
that it was only 7 days ago
when we were in your beautiful
country. Our hearts are still
there....
Per your request, here are
the photos from my camera
for your keepsake. Good luck
with the business and keep
that beautiful smile of yours
shining. Mostly, keep Tuscany
the way it is.... and keep
Lucca the hunter in check!
:)
Big hugs
Anthea
