BELLAVITA – The Tuscan Cooking Class

Learn how to cook a complete Tuscan meal

The secret to Tuscan cuisine is simplicity. Many classics today started from necessity. Farmers sought flavor & nourishment from whatever ingredients were most readily at hand, which became recipes, which then got passed down from generation to generation. For Italians today, one perfect bite magically transports us back to our nonna’s kitchen, where we would pass the afternoon together stirring, cutting & rolling. 

This class aims to bring you with us on this magical journey back to our nonna’s kitchen. Together we will make simple, hearty dishes that you can later make at home yourself & teach to the next generation. 

Of course, we will use the purest ingredients possible and seasonal vegetables. During this time, we will also have the opportunity to introduce you to the fundamentals of Tuscan cuisine and the regional specialties from pappa al pomodoro to pici. 

After a tour of the Castle-winery, aprons on! We’ll learn to make 4 distinct dishes together: a first course, a second course with side dish & a dessert, all based in traditional Tuscan cuisine. After you prepare your culinary creations, relax & enjoy your hard work accompanied by an aperitivo, a Brunello wine tasting & a special dessert.
