Watch the Italian maestro perform in his hometown and enjoy a four-night stay in romantic Lucca, on this summertime tour of beautiful Tuscany

Florence, Lucca, Volterra and the Tuscan Riviera, fine wines, vineyards tours, and central seats at the Teatro del Silenzio to watch one of the great Italian tenors… if any tour captures the true essence of La Dolce Vita, this is it.

Once a year, Italian opera legend Andrea Bocelli returns to his hometown of Lajatico, where he was born, to host a spectacular open-air concert at the Teatro del Silenzio built especially for the Maestro's summer concerts.

This special concert will be the highlight of your four-night stay in Tuscany, where you'll also have plenty of opportunities to see the region's attractions and the magnificent Florence Renaissance Architecture.

During the trip you will enjoy lunch at the Bocelli family's restaurant in Lajatico, a visit a museum dedicated to Andrea and his work and a trip to the Tuscan Riviera, where you'll enjoy a seafood lunch at the Bocelli's stylish Alpemare Beach Club.

You'll visit Bocelli Vineyards, part of the Poggioncino Estate, up in the scenic hills of the Val D'Era where you'll taste some of the fine wines produced here during your lunch at the family restaurant, where Andrea Bocelli's nephew Alessio will tell you about his family's winemaking traditions.

Throughout the trip you'll be staying at the four-star Albergo Celide in Lucca. The hotel is located right by Lucca's old city walls and has an excellent restaurant with an à la carte menu specializing in fresh seafood where you'll dine one evening.
