The advertisement from Viator reads "Step into the kitchen ... during this 3-hour hands-on cooking class. Learn to make a 4-course seasonal Tuscan meal with your chef from start to finish such as homemade pasta, truffle lasagna, crostinis, steak, and tiramisu." In fact, when we got there the on-site chef, the sweet and talented Monica, told us right off the bat that it was the big chef's day off wo we would have to settle for her. Then, our "three hour" cooking course lasted one hour and did not include making a desert. We ate the food we prepared alone in the restaurant - I guess that counts for the remaining two hours of the cooking course. We were never served a desert even though we had not made one. A day before our event, Tenuto called us to tell us that they had a problem at the winery so the course would take place at the restaurant. We were not invited to "Take a brief walking tour of the historic property with your group" as advertised. Not worth the 150$.

Wonderful experience!

We had a very enjoyable experience with chef Tina (Valentina). She was fun and very easy to work with. My husband, who’s not one to cook, rolled up his sleeves and really got into it. Our dinner and wine tasting after was very enjoyable. Left we wine and olive oil for home!!!

Eccellente

Just loved our chef teacher Antonio. He is so passionate about food and cooking. We had a small class of only 5 so it was easy to follow every course. The amount of food we made was amazing. 2 appetizers, homemade pasta, main course and dessert. Then the wine, it was generously poured. We loved the experience so much we went back the next day for a pizza class and requested the same chef.
