About this tour

Embark on an enchanting journey through Garfagnana, one of Tuscany’s most authentic and unspoiled regions. Your private adventure begins with a scenic drive from Lucca to the legendary Devil’s Bridge, where centuries-old legends meet breathtaking mountain vistas and architectural marvels that seem to defy time itself. Continue to the heart of this pastoral paradise in Pieve Fosciana, where traditional cheese-making artisans still craft their products using time-honored methods passed down through generations. Experience an exclusive visit to a local cheese factory, where you’ll witness the ancient art of cheese production and savor exceptional regional varieties paired with local wines.
