• Lucca is home to Il Desco Food & Wine Festival – "From November 20th to December 12th, the Tuscan town of Lucca will host special events each weekend in celebration of local food products, like beans, spelt, chestnuts, oil, bread, cigars and chocolate" – Source: Italianfoodlovers – "Travel, Discover, Taste" – In English, Italian
• Lucca Typical Products – "As well as many other tuscan cities, Lucca has a flourishing enogastronomic tradition based on simple ingredients. The local cuisine is therefore represented by typically "poor" dishes - spawned, as they are, from the local farm culture - but at the same time extremely elegant and tasteful. Furthermore, the typical products of Lucchesia belong to a wide array of natural environments, ranging from the seaside to valleys, from mountains to hills. Among the most famous specialties: the DOP extra-virgin Lucca oil, the vast selection of DOC and IGT red and white wines from Montecarlo and the area of the Colline lucchese, the Garfagnana DOP chestnut flour and the IGP farro, the cured meats of Gombitelli, the Altopascio bread. And also: porcini mushrooms, honey, fish, pecorino cheese, potato bread, home-made pasta (such as maccheroni and tordelli)... The list could go on endlessly." – Source: VisitPisaLucca.com – "Pisa and Lucca, the two jewels in the heart of Tuscany, have never been so close!

The wine and food products are unique and genuine, like the cultivations of this land. Wine and olive oil are surely typical products of Tuscany, but San Miniato and Volterra Truffles and Lari cherries can only be found in Pisa province." – Source: VisitPisaLucca.com
