Private tasting of wines and oil to discover Lucca Ducale
Description
Our tasting tours are a journey to discover the history of Lucca and the taste given by organic production that pays attention to the territory. Let yourself be involved in the story of Lucca Ducale, of which Maria Teresa of Savoy was the protagonist and who made the Tenuta di San Martino in Vignale her country residence. We will visit together the historic cellar and the oil mill, which are still used today, with the inclusion of modern machinery and the use of wise and nature-friendly organic techniques. After having quenched the thirst for knowledge, it will be the turn of the palate! The visit ends, in fact, with the tasting of four wines and our olive oil, accompanied by salami and cheese produced in the area. There will be no shortage of space for chatting and laughing, guaranteed by the exclusivity of the tour. Customizations are possible, upon contact.

Lovely tour of the Tenuta Maria Teresa with Alessia, who looked after us very well. We went as a family from age 10-85 and all really enjoyed ourselves. The property and surrounding area is stunning with beautiful views and the drink and food tasting was incredibly delicious. We would highly recommend it and would love to go again.
It was great. The tour of the gardens, the indescribably great view of the valley of Lucca and the tour to the wine cellar and the oil mill. Also the whole process of our time there, including the wine and olive oil tasting, was very personal and you did not feel like you were doing it all in one quick pass. They took their time and answered all the questions and let the talks run their course:-) Great wines, everyone will find a delicious wine there, even for home. The olive oil, which is produced there itself, is also recommended. For us it was a successful afternoon with a great hostess. Any time again!
