Enjoy being wined and dined by the Bocelli family and get central seats to witness Andrea in full operatic flow

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 essence of La Dolce Vita, this is it.

Andrea Bocelli's enchanting Tuscan hometown of Lajatico is nestled in the hills between Pisa and Volterra. Despite finding international fame as one of opera's most acclaimed modern stars, he and his family remain devoted to this beautiful village, so much so that Andrea has built a spectacular amphitheatre here, where he performs once a year. This tour will allow you to discover the best of Lajatico and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

From your base in Florence, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the Bocelli Family Vineyards nestled in the hills of Val d'Era, see the farmhouse that Bocelli often escapes to, and taste Azienda Bocelli wines in the company of Andrea's nephew Alessio Bocelli.

You'll explore the hilltop town of Volterra, rich in Roman Antiquities, the ancient cobbled streets of Lucca with its Renaissance-era walls, the art and sculpture of Pietrasanta, and myriad highlights of magnificent Florence.

You'll dine at the Bocelli family's restaurant in Lajatico, Andrea Bocelli's hometown, visit a museum dedicated to Andrea Bocelli and his music, and head to the Tuscan Riviera to enjoy a seafood lunch at the family's stylish Alpemare Beach Club in Forte dei Marmi.

But all these are really the curtain raisers for the main event - when you take your Poltronissima seats to watch the Italian maestro perform in the Teatro Del Silenzio, one of the world's great open-air venues. For the lucky few, there is even a rare additional experience (at a supplement) that will live long in the memory, which your reservation consultant will explain.

Either way, it is a trip that hits all the right notes.
