The Tuscan Table, in Your Own Villa
Our cooking class in Tuscany comes to you: a private chef arrives at your villa, apartment or holiday rental with fresh, seasonal ingredients and teaches your group the recipes of Tuscan country cooking. No driving to a school, no shared table with strangers: just your family or friends, your kitchen and a view over the hills.
From the Chianti to the Val d’Orcia, around Florence, Siena, Lucca or Montepulciano, we bring the class wherever you are staying. You will roll pici by hand, make fresh pappardelle, cook a slow ragù and finish with cantucci dipped in vin santo, then sit down together with a glass of Tuscan wine.
Would you rather have the chef cook for you all week? Discover our private chef in Tuscany.
