    Beautiful, out of the way winery

    This is a beautiful winery in the Tuscan hills. It was difficult to reach. Of the 5 wines we tasted, I only liked 2. I am not a wine expert, but I like what I like.

    Response from the operator: We are sorry that you didn't like some of our wines, anyway thank you for your visit!

    Incredible wine tasting experience

    Incredible wine tasting experience. The website allows you to easily book a tasting slot and pay online. We haven’t found many other wineries in the area that offer an online booking option. We booked the 4 wine tasting option, which came with bruschetta crustini and their homemade olive oil, as well as biscotti and complimentary dessert wine at the end. Because we booked and paid online, we got 15% off wine purchases. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. 10/10 experience!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Emma for your very kind review!

    Unmissable experience

    The cantalici winery has been taken into new ownership , with the owners on site most days and their passion is evident. We chose the 6 wine tasting and extensive lunch package. There is a tour of production facilities with a very informative explanation of all aspects of wine production. The tasting of white, Rose and 4 various price point reds was very generous as was the lunch which was so generous i thought it was per couple , not per person !. Easily the best wine tasting experience i’ve done . Best to book ahead to ensure you get the lunch. Other customers on lesser packages saw the extent of our lunch requested to be upgraded but were unable to do so as the lunch takes time to prepare .

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Asif for this kind review and for the 5 points! We are happy that you enjoyed your experience here at cantalici!

    Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.

    How much does Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucca is not rushed.

    Is Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery?

    +

    Included: Tasting of Extravergin Olive Oil; Snacks available during the tasting; and Tasting of 4, 6 or 8 wines per person (based on the booked option). Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery?

    +

    Meeting point: Reception of the winery Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wine tasting in the historical Cantalici winery?

    +
