Christmas 2026 in central Lucca
Christmas at Tomkat
Christmas dinners and toasts for companies, colleagues, and friends: up to 60 seated or 100 standing guests, nearly 200 labels, and food made for sharing. And for wine lovers, a gift that never expires.
The office Christmas dinner, minus the banquet hall
A Christmas dinner works when everyone sits close together, dishes get passed around the table, and someone opens a bottle that everyone remembers. At Tomkat, we give you the venue, our wine list — honored by Wine Spectator and Star Wine List — and shared dishes from our kitchen, with service in Italian and English.
We’re on Via Calderia, just steps from Piazza San Michele, which this year is home to the Christmas forest of Lucca Magico Natale. An after-dinner stroll through the historic center comes included.
Four ways to celebrate Christmas
We’ll decide on the number of guests, day, time, and wines together, and send you a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
Christmas dinner
up to 60 seated guests
Shared dishes from the Pantry and the Kitchen, paired wines, and a Champagne toast. As a starting point, we use our shared Tasting Menu (currently €40 per person) with wine pairing (from €20).
Christmas toast
up to 100 standing guests
Champagne and wines by the glass from our list, with bites from the Pantry: a year-end toast with colleagues, clients, and suppliers.
Team tasting
from €20 per person
A guided tasting of Champagne, Burgundy, and great Italian wines for the whole group: a different way to share holiday wishes that also works as team building.
Exclusive venue hire
upon request
The whole of Tomkat just for you, even on days and at times outside our usual hours: the dining room, the mezzanine, and the wine cellar on display.
Here, we toast with wine: no cocktails, Prosecco, or beer, but Champagne and a list of nearly 200 labels. Service is in Italian and English.
The gift for wine lovers
Gift a Tasting
A gift card from €50 to €250, valid for all our tastings. It arrives by email with your message: you can send it right away, have it sent to you, or choose the delivery date — even Christmas morning. It never expires.
