Real cooking lessons in an idyllic setting in Tuscany. - Our hosts were so knowledgeable! They taught us to make pici and two types of sauces. We also made an awesome bruschetta, panzanella, and chicken with prosciutto. The wine was great, as were a variety of aged cheeses. Fulvio worked easily with all seven of us in both a prep room and in the kitchen, and then we ate in a lovely dining area.

Magnificent experience shared by 7 friends and our host - A memorable experience with friends and our host. He was able to explain to us, teach us the habits and customs and make connections with our knowledge. He got us all involved. The arrival at the farm was a bit hazardous for some of our group (the information received was clear), he kept his smile during this long wait. We highly recommend it.

Fun and delicious class - The class was very fun and the instructor was personable and knowledgeable. There were two young boys in the class that she was great with. The food was delicious as was the wine. We left with our bellies full and a couple new dishes to make at home.
