Highlights
  • Viale IV Novembre, 35 - Culinary tradition is a protagonist of Tuscan culture, and a major part of the experience visiting the region.
    We will be hosted in an organic farm, in the heart of Chianti Classico area. A typical farmhouse where a Tuscan family lives since many generations. It’s a charming set up, surrounded by rows of vines, olive groves, flowers and vegetable gardens. Here we will have to roll our sleeves up and start cooking our meal. With the help of a
    local Tuscan Lady you will learn traditional secrets of our cuisine as well as cooking techniques. Success is guaranteed.
    Starters like bruschettas and crostini, cold cuts, cheeses and their pairing with honeys and jams. Pasta, and its fascinating world. We will make our own fresh home-made pasta from scratches, the old-fashioned way with a
    wooden rolling pin! Since any great meal ends with a dessert, we will be making something traditional to be enjoyed at the end of our lunch too.
    A tasting of various wines and spirits produced in the farm is included in the experience, as well as the visit of the property and cellar.

Fantastic and memorable! - Loved getting to meet the wine maker and his family! His mom taught us to cook Italian and we even got to do wine tasting and tour the family winery! The driver was absolutely fantastic and taught us so much about the area!

One of our best experiences - A private tour and cooking class of a Tuscan olive farm and vineyard. Mama Sylvia and Jessica were fabulous hosts and teachers!! The food (made by us!!) was wonderful. We loved the doggo too! Mama Sylvia makes the best limoncello we’ve ever tasted!! Totally worth the time! Such a personal interaction with Italy! Jessica was so friendly and informative!

Wonderful fun family experience - Our family (2 adults and 11 year old daughter) loved this tour. Phillipo, our guide/driver was excellent - friendly, good humoured and full of interesting information about the region, history, food and wine. Sylvia, our chef/instructor was wonderful. After preparing the food, we were able to tour the farm/vineyard before sitting down to a wonderful meal. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially my daughter. It was one of the highlights our our trip to Italy. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Best tour of our 15 day trip. - This is a must do experience. Our guide Martini was great, there wasn't a question we asked that she didn't know the answer to. Learned so much walking through the vineyard and Olive trees. The cooking class was so fun and now my husband and I can make homemade pasta. Our lunch with the items we made was delicious. It felt like for an entire morning we were transported back in time and really got a chance to experience the Italian culture.
