Lunch, wine, recipes, and a cooking diploma are included.

“Hands down our best experience in Italy. Our chefs Luca and Erika were AMAZING! Luca was our guide through the central market and the bus ride to the estate, and he is so much fun, we were having a blast before we even started cooking. The estate where the classes are held is beautiful and just outside the city. The chefs were hands on and helpful and it was just a wonderful way to spend the afternoon with our family learning to make pasta and tiramisu.”
