The experience kicks off with a welcome drink and an introduction to the Chef, who will share the fascinating stories and secrets behind two Italian culinary icons: Carbonara and Tiramisù. The ambiance is enhanced by a delightful appetizer platter, perfectly paired with a glass of Tuscan wine, presented through a storytelling session that explores the historic winemaking regions and the area’s exceptional qualities. Next, participants don their aprons and enter the kitchen. Here, premium ingredients – including guanciale, fresh eggs, mascarpone, and other local products – take the spotlight. The Chef will guide participants step by step in crafting a traditional tiramisù (or, if preferred, a cheesecake) and what is fondly referred to as “the best carbonara in the world.” The experience wraps up at the dining table, where participants savor their own creations: the carbonara paired with a glass of sparkling wine, followed by dessert with a glass of Vinsanto.
