Lucca

Lucca's culinary identity is shaped by the fertile northern Tuscan plain that bears the city's name, where unique microclimates fuel its agricultural heritage. This terroir yields 16 protected denominations, led by the prestigious Colline Lucchesi DOC wine, cultivated on the surrounding sun-drenched slopes, and the delicate Lucca DOP extra virgin olive oil. Here, the city's historic agricultural traditions remain vibrant and accessible. Visitors can directly experience this gastronomic legacy through 6 verified local producers based right within the municipal borders, 5 of whom open their doors to travelers for tastings and cellar tours.
