Tuscan Food & Wine Guide for Cruise Passengers

Chianti, trattoria pranzo and Ligurian seafood — taste Tuscany on a port day.

Tuscan food rewards passengers who anchor on gastronomy. Chianti wine country inland, Ligurian seafood on the Cinque Terre coast — each suits a dedicated port day.

Taste of Tuscany excursions include vineyard visit, trattoria lunch and village market stop inland.

Do not pair a full food tour with a full Florence sightseeing day on standard calls.
