Your Culinary Experience in Umbria, Italy!
If you are in holiday in Umbria and Tuscany but you don’t have time for a full culinary vacation, we offer an Half Day cooking class.
It will make your vacation unforgettable!
Our cooking classes kick off at 10:00 a.m. and typically run for about 3 to 4 hours, offering a fully hands-on experience. You’ll dive into the preparation of a delightful multi-course meal, comprising an appetizer, a first course (fresh pasta or gnocchi), a main course (featuring meat or vegetarian recipes) paired with a side dish, and a delectable dessert. The best part? You get to savor your culinary creations accompanied by our estate’s fine wine at the conclusion of the lesson.
During the class, we’ll share the traditional Italian cooking techniques and the fascinating history behind each recipe. Plus, right on the premises, you’ll find our lush organic vegetable garden, providing the freshest produce for our classes. As for our ingredients, we take pride in using extra virgin olive oil and organic red wine produced right here on the farm. Everything else is sourced from local markets, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity in every dish.
So come join us for a hands-on culinary adventure, where you’ll not only learn to cook like an Italian but also indulge in the flavors of our land!
