Highlight of our trip! - This experience was a highlight of our trip! The ladies were so sweet and welcoming! They speak very little English but utilized a translation tool and the language issue was a Non-issue. We left filled with happiness in our hearts and bellies full of delicious authentic foods.

Amazing Time Learning to Make Pasta in Tuscany! - My mom & I had a wonderful time learning how to make pasta from Valentina & Anna Marie in the heart of Tuscany. Valentina's home is situated on a hill with a gorgeous view overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany. It was truly the highlight of our Italy trip. Making different types of pasta was very fun. While the pasta was drying, we then enjoyed a beautiful appetizer in her garden with a lovely spread of fresh Italian food before being able to enjoy our pasta we had made. The attention to detail throughout the day made the experience relaxing, enjoyable and very memorable to share with my mom. Highly recommend !!

Lover of Tuscany - We had a wonderful time with Valentine and Anna. Their love for their culture, family and food was evident from the first moment of their warm welcome. Everyone in our family of 6 lovef their experience, even my daughter-in-law who doesn’t love to cook …. she was one of the best at forming the orcchietti and fusilli! These two ladies put everyone at ease, no matter their level of cooking experience. We all laughed a lot and came away feeling like we experienced a piece of the true Tuscany experience. Thank you Anna and.Valentine for a memorable day. Anyone who doesn’t sign up for this day of pasta making is missing out!

BOOK IT!!! Don’t think twice - Hands down the best part of our entire trip. These women welcome you into their beautiful home and teach you family recipes. There is a language barrier but nothing that google translate can’t help with! They are funny and kind and just make you feel right at home. And the FOOD, outstanding. You won’t be disappointed by this excursion, book now.

Loved every single minute of it - We were in Italy for 3 weeks, and this experience is all we talk about with friends back home. It lasted about 4 hours, and Valentina and Anna Maria are the most friendly, welcoming, genuine hosts I’ve ever encountered. We made 4 kinds of pasta, plus a dessert that was handed down to them from their grandmothers and is so unique that it is hard to describe…think zucchini tart BUT INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! Received recipes and pics from the occasion. It was a pleasure to talk with them (AND EAT) for the afternoon. Don’t miss doing this. There is nothing like it back home.

Incredible Afternoon Cooking in Tuscan countryside - Valentina and Anna Maria are lovely people to spend the afternoon with. I have attended multiple cooking classes in Tuscany but this one was special. Their instructions were clear and easy to follow even if you are not a cook. Making the four types of pasta was fun. The best part was the wonderful desert that I had never seen in Tuscany made from their family recipe. I can’t think of a better way to spend the day in Chianti then in the countryside with great people, food and wine!

DO NOT MISS!!! - Annamaria and Valentina made this the best experience of our Tuscany trip. They work together so well. They employed humor and expertise as they shared recipes and instructions. We all made our own pasta, and shared lunch at a gorgeous patio table. We were provided with appetizers, wine, the pasta dishes, and desserts.

Lovely experience and lots of delicious food - Annamaria & Valentina were absolutely amazing hosts, teachers and cooks. Such funny and kind women - even though they don't really speak any English and we don't speak any Italian, the translating app we used was totally sufficient and we got to know the ladies. The experience was so lovely and the food so delicious. Once we were ready to sit down and eat, we were brought so much more food than just what we made and some delicious wine as well - we left that day feeling more full than we had our entire trip. You really get great value for your money. Would absolutely recommend.
