Join local housewives in a traditional cooking class, where you'll learn to prepare simple yet flavorful dishes reminiscent of the region's sharecropping era.

The culinary adventure begins with the preparation of rustic delights like bruschetta and crispy bread croutons, infused with the freshness of tomatoes, basil, and the region's signature extra virgin olive oil.

Throughout the cooking process, enjoy a refreshing glass of wine to keep you company. As the course concludes, the table will be set with the freshly prepared dishes, paired with a selection of fine local wines. This rural escapade offers a unique chance to experience traditional Tuscan cuisine in its natural setting - a picturesque farmhouse, rustic farm, or cozy trattoria.
