Exclusive Private Carrara Marble Experience from Florence

Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 7am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 6.45am. We will then drive to La Spezia train station which will take approximately 2 hours.

Step into a world of breathtaking contrasts—raw and majestic, ancient and industrial. The marble quarries of Carrara, known to the Romans as marmor lunense, have been active since antiquity. Today, their cathedral-like silence, sharp vertical cuts, and the brilliant white stone against the sky make for an unforgettable visit. Watch as tiny workers handle enormous blocks of marble, continuing the tradition of a craft that shaped the great sculptures and monuments of the Western world. Pause for a toast with a glass of chilled Prosecco or a refreshing drink, then head to the historic village of Colonnata to enjoy a hearty taste of Lardo.

In the afternoon, you'll visit one of the area’s most celebrated wineries: Ca’ Lunae, founded by Paolo Bosoni in 1966. Continuing a family legacy rooted in Ligurian agriculture, Bosoni brings together tradition and innovation in every step of the winemaking process. The estate, located in the heart of Lunigiana between Sarzana (Liguria) and Carrara (Tuscany), sits within the renowned Colli di Luni DOC—a designation recognized since Roman times for its exceptional viticulture. Your experience at Ca’ Lunae will include a guided walk through the beautifully preserved 18th-century estate, a visit to the on-site wine museum, and time in the Essentiae Laboratory, where seasonal liqueurs and jams are still made according to ancient recipes. The tour concludes with a curated tasting of their elegant wines, enjoyed in the atmospheric cellar or dedicated tasting room.

Your guide for the day will drop you back to where you were picked up. Guides can drop clients back to other locations with prior notice.
