What to expect

Cooking lessons to learn the secrets of Tuscan cuisine with the traditions handed down by our parents and our grandparents, using the products of our farm, as well as those of nearby farms.

We start with making 2 kinds of pasta, typical from the area, with traditional recipes and all made by hand! The famous Tagliatelle or Pappardelle are then made with the same hand-rolled pasta, which will be seasoned with a delicious tomato or meat sauce.

Finally, the secrets of Cantucci -italian cookies- will be taught

The cooking lesson has a duration of about 2.5 and following the lunch of the preparations made are served at the table either outside when the weather is appropriate. Overlooking the picturesque val d'Orcia Or in our historical dining room!!
