It was an incredible...

Tiffany_K, Sep 2025

It was an incredible cooking class experience in Chianti, set inside a beautifully preserved 16th-century house. Overlooking the rolling vineyards. The hosts were welcoming and passionate. We prepared fresh pasta, sauces with local ingredients. We picked out fresh ingredients from garden. Everything was hands-on, yet relaxed. After the cooking, we enjoyed our meal together with excellent Chianti wine and professional opera performance. It was more than just a class—it was a cultural immersion, blending history, food, and the joy of sharing a table. I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re in Tuscany and want something truly memorable, this is it!

Exploration of All Your Senses!

We were entranced by the house, farm, and the view of the land. Coffee was served and we got to know each other before cooking. We started by harvesting from the garden and fig tree our ingredients. Then into the rustic kitchen with a local woman who taught us traditional cooking: simple, informal, warm, familial, aromatic- PERFECT. Dinner was amazing. The prosecco was excellent. The house Chianti wine the farm makes paired well with our meal. The opera singer just elevated what was a heavenly experience. It was the highlight of our 10 day Tuscany expedition.

Fabulous Night!
