Let’s Cook in Umbria: Cooking classes in Italy, Culinary Holidays and Tours

 

 

Immerse yourself in the rhythms and beauty of farm life through Let’s Cook in Umbria’s Italian cookery classes and cultural activities.
Since 2005 we have been offering an authentic cooking experience, set in a real farmhouse located in the heart of Italy surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and olive trees, and steeped in Etruscan and Medieval history. This is the perfect place to learn about authentic Italian food, touring beautiful art sites and relaxing in the gardens or by the pool.

 

 

Welcome to our Farm – Cooking school in Italy, Umbria near Tuscany

 

We aim to offer you authentic, informal and fun culinary experiences, in which you will learn to prepare traditional Italian dishes, enjoy rich and genuine meals and discover the artistic and gastronomic beauties of my region: Umbria famous as “the green heart of Italy”

 

Our Culinary Programs take place on my family’s farm in Perugia (Umbria region, central Italy). It is a beautiful farm (agriturismo) set in the Umbrian countryside with breathtaking views.
The accommodation is in lovely, recently renovated apartments. For our guests a wonderful swimming pool surrounded by greenery with splendid gardens to enjoy in their free time. It is the ideal location for your authentic Italian culinary holidays.
