Spend about four hours at Agriturismo Primaluce with Francesco and his family. Walk through the farm, meet its animals, learn about seasonal crops, taste wine, olive oil, and limoncello, then make pizza and sample fresh mozzarella before a generous farm lunch.

“Wow, just wow! This tour was probably the best part of my husband’s and I’s trip. Francesco and his amazing family really made this feel like an authentic experience rather than just going through the motions. There were many laughs, great wine, and delicious pizza topped with a gorgeous venue. Would highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 628 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $211

“It was a great mix of education, food and fun. Definitely a great time with great hosts. The products available for purchase afterwards were very affordable. If you include the pizza making experience- don’t eat much before you go. The lemoncello was the best. If we had the luggage space we’d have bought the store out.”

The pizza making class was so much fun, they took so many pictures of my family during the process so we could capture the memories. After we ate as a group, we got to watch them create cheese, learn about the process, and taste it. They allowed us to explore the property with an amazing view. Before we left, they even served us a full dish of food and dessert. And of course we did not forget about the…”
