Tucked into the Tuscan hills, medieval Volterra serves up two outstanding dinner tours that showcase the best of local cuisine. The standout experiences perfectly balance education with enjoyment. The olive oil tour delivers a memorable feast while teaching traditional production methods and even includes hands-on pastry making. For wine enthusiasts, the Diacceroni wine tour hits all the right notes – offering five local vintages perfectly paired with regional specialties across three courses.
I especially love how both tours use ingredients sourced directly from nearby farms and accommodate special diets without compromising authenticity. These intimate evening experiences capture everything that makes Tuscan cooking special.
