THE
MOST ORIGINAL TOUR IN TUSCANY
Arianna
& Friends arranges an
exciting full-day tour to
the hilly area near Livorno
for you to learn how to make
pizza. We reach the pizza
maker's house and start a pizza
class followed by a delicious
lunch. In the afternoon we drive
to a small medieval village
for a walking tour in a
truly Italian scenery.
Here the outline:
- Private transfer by minivan
or minibus from the port
of Livorno. Our English speaking
operator meets you directly
at the ship in the morning
at your convenience and tours
you for the whole day. The tour
leader gives you an interesting
introduction to the region
Tuscany, its uses, facts and
history, while reaching the
place. French, German, Russian,
Spanish and Italian are also
possible.
-
Within just 40 minutes drive
we reach a picturesque small
country house on a very
panoramic hill, the pizza
maker's dwelling. Here we start
preparing the dough and all
ingredients to make several
delicious pizzas. Aldo, the
pizza maker, lives in this house,
grows his own fruits and vegetables
and makes several specialities.
Through his guidance you learn
how to prepare and bake
pizzas in his stone oven,
but also another speciality
of the area called cecina,
namely a baked chickpea pie.
During the class you will also
prepare some excellent fruit
cakes.
-
The lesson is followed by a
rich lunch in a panoramic
terrace outdoors with a
lot of local specialties:
• salami, prosciutto, cold
cuts and pickles made by Aldo,
served with the foccaccia flat
bread you just baked.
• cecina chickpea pie.
• assorted pizza according
to your personal taste, including
sweet pizza.
• fruit cakes.
• drinks and wine of the
house, the real way the Italians
drink excellent local unlabelled
wine.
-
After lunch we drive for about
20 minutes and reach a fascinating
medieval village called Peccioli
with wonderful panoramas
all around. The village is a
perfect example of a truly
Italian location, with small
bars, churches, tiny lanes and
hidden squares. The tour culminates
on an elevated garden
at the level of the rooftops
of the buildings
in the center of the village,
where you have a unique view
of Tuscany and an original
perspective about how the
locals live.
Before departing you will relax
at a local bar for a drink
or a gelato.
- Return within the early
evening, depending on the
docking time of the cruiseship.
