A highlight of our trip! - This was one of our highlights in Tuscany, and our trip to Italy! It is an authentic Tuscan experience. We were warmly welcomed to Simone’s home surrounded by grape vines and olive trees. Simone taught our small group of 6 how to make spinach ravioli and tiramisu while we sipped on Chianti wine. Thank you, Simone, for sharing your home and love of cooking with us!

Great cooking class with Simone - This cooking class with Simone was so much fun! We made ricotta and cheese ravioli with fresh pasta made by us. We also made tira misu. Simone prepared tomato brushetta and cooked the raviolis then served us outside of the farmhouse. Delicious chianti available throughout. My daughter and I were part of a group of 8- nice size for a cooking class . Setting was a very old and interesting farmhouse in the very scenic Chianti countryside.

Fantastic experience for the whole family - Fantastic experience - we loved learning how to cook ravioli and tiramisu with Simone. He was very welcoming and entertaining and the highlight was enjoying the food out in the sunlight in his courtyard. Our kids (7, 9 and 11) gave it a 10/10. Thanks Simone!

Left stranded - We were looking forward to this and it's the only reason we went to Siena. We waited an hour at the meeting point listed on our confirmation and no one came. Another couple was there with us and they called and were told no one was coming to pick us up because they "were booked." We booked this 2 months ago and our credit card was charged.
