What To Expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet a wonderful Italian couple, Giorgia and Luigi at their rustic Tuscan farmhouse in the Radda in Chianti countryside. Start your culinary journey with a wine and olive oil tasting on the outdoor patio. The extra virgin olive oil that you will try and cook with is pressed from Giorgia’s olive trees. Next learn to cook a traditional Italian meal from Giorgia’s grandmother’s recipes that have been passed down through generations of her family. Your hands-on Italian cooking class in Radda in Chianti will last about two hours. You will learn to make 3 dishes made from scratch; an appetizer like panzanella (Tuscan tomato, cucumber and bread salad), a homemade pasta like tagliatelli, ravioli or maltagliati from scratch along with a Bolognese sauce (ragu) and tiramisu. Share the classic Italian meal you helped prepare with Giorgia and her husband Luigi at their outdoor dining table over wine and conversation about Italian life and culture. Giorgia occasionally hosts guests at her home and while there may be other people in the house, your experience with Giorgia will remain private.

Fabulous morning with Giorgia and Gioia! They made the class fun and taught us new techniques! I would never have believed that I could make a tiramisu that tasted that good! Our whole group couldn’t recommend this class more highly! One of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany!
Absolutely fabulous time...

Our cooking class with Giorgia was amazing! The class took place on a beautiful farm with the most unbelievable view of the Tuscan countryside. Giorgia was so kind and helpful in showing us how to make the traditional Tuscan dishes. The food was delicious! We can’t wait to try what we learned at home. We can’t recommend this cooking class enough! It is a must do if you are in the area.
Must-do cooking class!

Being in someone’s home learning how to make my own pasta and drinking their homemade wine that you can’t get anywhere else was truly amazing! I highly recommend this tour. You will have an unforgettable experience.
