Private Shore Excursion from Livorno

Pisa and Lucca – Private Day Tour with Lunch and Wine Tastings in Tuscany

Two iconic Tuscan cities, a family winery, a long table lunch, and five estate wine tastings — all in a single private day.


This private shore excursion from Livorno is designed for cruise passengers who want more than a glimpse of Tuscany — it combines the architectural grandeur of Pisa, the walled charm of Lucca, and an authentic lunch at a family-run winery, all without sharing the experience with strangers.

A dedicated driver and tour leader collect you directly from the cruise terminal and accompany you throughout the day, managing logistics so you can focus entirely on what you are seeing, tasting, and experiencing. The itinerary moves at a comfortable pace, with free time built into each stop rather than a regimented schedule.

The centerpiece of the day is a visit to Fattoria Carmignani in the Montecarlo di Lucca hills, where a three-course traditional lunch is paired with five estate wines. The setting is a working vineyard, and the meal reflects honest Tuscan cooking — bruschetta with local olive oil, regional cold cuts, homemade pasta, and wines that express the character of the surrounding land.

Tour Highlights

Explore the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, and Baptistery.

Walk the historic center of Lucca, a city enclosed by intact Renaissance walls and rich in Roman and medieval heritage.

Sit down to a three-course Tuscan lunch at Fattoria Carmignani, a family-run winery in the Montecarlo di Lucca hills.

Taste five estate wines carefully selected to reflect the local terroir, paired course by course with your lunch.

Enjoy a guided vineyard and cellar visit to learn about the Carmignani family's generations-old winemaking traditions.

Travel with a private driver and dedicated tour leader who provide local context and ensure a seamless, personalised experience throughout.

Return to Livorno Port in time for your cruise departure, with no shared transport and no compromise on your schedule.
