Opera superstar Andrea Bocelli's enchanting hometown of Lajatico is located in the sunny Tuscan hills. Andrea and his family remain devoted to this lovely village and have built an impressive amphitheatre here, where he puts on an incredible performance once a year.
From your hotel base in Florence, you'll tour the Bocelli Family Vineyards in the hills of Val d'Era and taste Azienda Bocelli wines with Andrea's nephew, Alessio Bocelli.
You'll dine at the Bocelli family's restaurant in Lajatico, where you can also visit a museum dedicated to Andrea Bocelli. There's a trip to the Tuscan Riviera included too, where you'll enjoy a seafood lunch at the family's stylish Alpemare Beach Club.
The real highlight of the trip, however, will be hearing the Italian maestro perform in the Teatro Del Silenzio, where you'll have central seats. There is even a rare additional experience (at a supplement) on the cards, which your reservation consultant will explain.
Andrea Bocelli is classical music's biggest-selling living artist, having sold over 80 million records. Born in Tuscany, the singer lost his vision in a football accident at age 12 but went on to sell out stadiums the world over with his versatile mix of opera, classical, and pop.
