About this tour

Based in Umbria, this hands-on class pairs dishes you've prepared with local family-produced wines, exploring how flavours complement each other. You'll cook, taste, and share meals in rural surroundings, hearing stories about the region's food and wine traditions from someone genuinely knowledgeable about both.

What to expect
Arrive at the property and begin with an overview of the day's menu, built around what's currently in season. You'll work in the kitchen preparing dishes step-by-step, then transition to wine tasting where you'll sample several bottles from nearby producers. The sommelier explains each wine's character and how it works with the food you've made. Lunch brings everything together—eating what you've cooked whilst sipping the wines you've tried. Expect informal conversation and a relaxed pace rather than formal instruction.
