Uncover the culinary heart of Tuscany at Podere Spedalone! Learn the secrets of authentic Tuscan cooking, passed down through generations of our family, using fresh, farm-grown ingredients. We're talking truly handmade pasta, bread, and desserts – all crafted from scratch using produce from our organic garden and neighboring farms.
This isn't just a cooking class; it's an immersive experience.
