COOKING CLASSES
ON-SITE / AT HOME
We offer cooking classes in Gaiole in Chianti or directly at your home to meet every need. From the short three-hour course, ideal for learning the quickest Tuscan traditional dishes, to the half-day course covering appetizer, first course, main course, and dessert.
For those seeking a more in-depth experience, we offer a three-day course focused on appetizers, first courses, soups, meat main courses, and traditional desserts, or a five-day course ranging from first courses to baked goods, with special attention to plating.
Finally, the intensive course provides a complete immersion in Tuscan cuisine with a customized two-month program.
