Authentic Tuscan Cooking Class & Winery Tour in San Gimignano
Description
Your culinary journey begins with an antipasto of three types of bruschetta: - Fettunta, the purest form of bruschetta with garlic and extra virgin olive oil. - Bruschetta with seasonal vegetables, highlighting the fresh produce of Tuscany. - Classic tomato bruschetta, a staple of Italian cuisine. Next, you’ll craft handmade tagliolini pasta, pairing it with two delicious homemade sauces: - Pomarola sauce, a rich and flavorful Tuscan tomato sauce. - Seasonal vegetable sauce, featuring farm-fresh ingredients. To end on a sweet note, enjoy a traditional Tuscan dessert with two options: - Ricotta cream with Vinsanto wine (or a kid-friendly version with strawberry jam). - Pane, vino e zucchero, a modern twist on a rustic Tuscan treat. After the class, embark on a winery tour, where you’ll explore the vineyards and cellars, learning about Chianti and Tuscan winemaking traditions. Conclude the experience with a guided tasting of three fine Tuscan wines, perfectly paired with your meal.

This was AMAZING! I am not a cook at all and our instructor, Lavina (not sure if spelled right) was very patient, showed us how to do each step more than once if needed, and explained things in a very simple way! We made an appetizer, pasta from scratch, and a dessert AND did some wine tasting. This was the best part of our trip to San Gimignano!
The experience was fantastic!! So much fun and great teachers. Very hands on for everyone followed by a lovely meal together. Perfect amount of time and space to cook. I learned new things even though I cook a lot. The location, though a little remote, was super beautiful and the wine was wonderful. Would highly recommend.
We had an outstanding time! However, it was a difficult place to find when you don't know the area or exactly what you are looking for. But once we arrived, it could not have been a better experience! We started off with a tour of the winery, farm, and property. Then went into the kitchen...We made a ricotta dessert, tagliatelle pasta with pumpkin sauce and 3 kinds of bruscetta. In between we tasted their excellent wines - 2 whites and 2 reds. We then had lunch - with everything we made. What a great time! We'd highly recommend this experience!
Lara made us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped out of the car. We become part of her family as we learned some delicious recipes and simple tips for making the meal at home. It was a fun and relaxing atmosphere with great recommendations for the rest of our stay and recipes to make at home. I highly recommend this experience.
We totally enjoyed our time with Lara and her family. The cooking was great fun, the view spectacular and the company of her family delightful. We highly recommend this experience.
