About Carrara
Carrara is a working marble town in northern Tuscany, and its food culture grew up around the quarrymen who needed something rich and salty after a shift in the mountains. That is why the local tasting tables are built on lardo di Colonnata, cured in marble basins in the village above the quarries, and why the most popular experiences pair the stone with the plate — such as the Carrara Marble Quarries Jeep Tour with Lardo Tasting or the longer Carrara Marble Tour by Van from Lucca, Pisa or La Spezia: Mountains & Flavors, which brings the coast and the Apuane together in one day.

Frequently asked questions
Carrara's food and drink experiences sit mostly in the upper mid-range, which reflects the small-group format, the licensed quarry access and the guided tastings included. Shorter half-day jeep tours with a lardo tasting are the more accessible option, while full-day van tours covering more ground and more tastings cost more.
