only a couple of days, let us show you the tastes of Tuscany.
While you’re in Tuscany, join us for a morning or two in
the kitchen for a hands-on Italian cooking class focusing on
the foods and wines of Tuscany. The four-course lunch will be
paired with wines from the region. The classes are held on a
lovely estate in a 900-year-old mill with a large stone kitchen.
Feel and experience the history of Tuscany through its foods
and wines. |
| "The whole week was so interesting
and great. Every day we woke up and said 'yesterday was my favorite
day', how will she top that?! And then by the end of that day
we were saying this was our favorite!" |
Our weeklong all-inclusive
culinary tour gives you an in-depth experience of Italian
cooking and the Tuscan way of life. Your accommodations are
on a lovely olive estate just south of Siena in an 18th century
villa or farmhouse renovated with care to include many of the
original Tuscan architectural features. Walking trails through
olive groves or cypress lined lanes give you the opportunity
to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany. The culinary tour includes
a full week of cooking classes, 7 nights accommodations, visits
to local wine and food producers, wine tours, most all meals
with wine and visits to quaint local villages. During the week
we will open up the world of Tuscan wines from the basics to
the complexities of this varied region. |
Italian-American chef,
Gina Stipo, leads and teaches the single
day cooking classes and the fun, week-long
immersion style culinary tour. Whether
your vacation dreams are to spend a morning cooking or a week
learning and living as a Tuscan, we can help you fulfill that
dream and come away with beautiful memories.
Single day classes
and week long courses are available as well as multiple day
courses. We also offer winery tours and food producer tours.
