Strolling in Ancient Villages through Tuscan Pasta Factories, Liquor Factories and Truffle Areas
Discover traditional Tuscan flavors by visiting small local producers and tasting what they have been producing for many generations.
Let's visit some local producers, today we focus on pasta, liqueurs and truffles.
They are families who manage to continue the activities of their grandparents for several decades with limited but quality production and inserting some novelties.
We do small tastings and can also buy the products but the cafe we take at Andrea Bocelli's restaurant.
The experience involves traveling by one's own means to reach the various tour stops.
