Cooking Class on a Family Farm in Chianti with Lunch
Description
It is a cooking course where guests will be an active part of the course. Not a demonstration course but guests will literally get their hands on it! You learn simple recipes of our tradition, which can be easily recreated at home. The course takes place on my farm where I produce saffron oil, vegetables and raise chickens: the ingredients we will use are all very fresh, many of which are our own production. If time permits, we will take the course outdoors with a view of vineyards and olive trees and then eat what we have prepared in the open air, otherwise we will work in our barn. The farm stands on top of a hill in an oasis of peace and tranquility away from noise, cars and pollution. On request we can make a vegetarian menu.

GO HERE!!! Camilla is absolutely wonderful! Only 30 minutes outside of Florence! The views are spectacular, the food is delicious, and the host family is soooo kind and friendly! The experience felt so authentic. They get all their food and produce locally, not at supermarkets. We had so much fun and the biggest the class can be is 12 people, so It felt intimate and special! You cook and eat outside on their farm overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany - you can’t beat this unique experience! They have other excursions like truffle hunting with Camilla’s son and one of their dogs! I would go back every day if I could!!! The family let the group stay well past the time It said online, just to let us enjoy the company, food and farm. I will absolutely join this wonderful family again on my next trip to Italy!
It was a wonderful experience! A highlight of our trip. Couldn’t say enough about the hosts and the food.
When in Italy cooking is a must to get the full experience. Non- better than Cooking with Cami. Camilla was a very gracious hostess and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. She made you ‘Familia’. The food we prepared was delicious and their own pressed wines were amazing. Highly recommended. I want to go back!!
We went on our honeymoon and this was one of the best things we did! He was very nice, helpful, and made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend anyone in the area taking this class! Their farm was also beautiful!
My husband and I booked a truffle hunt for our first visit to Italy. The truffle hunt was awesome! We learned so much about truffles and really enjoyed watching the dog sniff them out. Later we walked back to such a Beautiful family farm and met the Romoli family. Fabrizzio set out cooking areas for our small group on a wooden table overlooking the vineyards and olive trees. It was such a peaceful setting. He took us step by step in making our pasta. My husband is not a cook and even he was successful at making fresh pasta. Fabrizzio gathered up all the pasta, cooked it and paired it with an amazing sauce and topped it with the fresh truffles we found that day. Prior to dinner, his family prepared an Amazing Charcuterie board filled with fresh meats, cheeses, breads and homemade oils and honey!!! We were also treated to homemade red and white wines and for desert his daughter made a delicious Apple crumble! To finish the meal, his son brought in some homemade liquor to sample which was just the perfect finishing touch! I didn't want to leave this paradise! The hospitality and food was Incredible!!! We even were able to purchase items and have them shipped back home. You definitely want to book a day here. You will not regret it!!!
Camilla has a beautiful farmhouse that looks over a carpet of Olive trees and grape vines. We made pasta, bread and more! Sat outside and had wine and had more food than you could imagine! There was one other couple so it was a very intimate setting. We loved it! She is a fabulous person. A highlight of our stay! Thanks Camilla!❤️
Camille is a very warm and encouraging cooking teacher and host. The farm wasalso very nice. was an unforgettable experience.
We had an amazing time cooking at the beautiful Tuscan farm. Camilla and her family were so welcoming and by the end of our experience, we all felt like family. I highly recommend this class!
This was one of the BEST experiences my wife and I have ever had. Absolutely worth it. Camilla took us in and made us feel like part of the family. My wife went to culinary school, while I could ruin pouring milk on cereal and she made us BOTH have an amazing time. The food was amazing, and the company was even better. My only recommendation would be to do this last, because everything else is going to be downhill from here.
We had an amazing experience taking a cooking class in Tuscany. The setting was beautiful, and the hosts were warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. We made delicious traditional dishes using fresh local ingredients, and the hands-on experience made it both fun and easy to follow. Camille and her husband were the best hosts.
