About this tour
Learn to cook a four-course Tuscan meal from a local chef in San Gimignano, then eat what you've made alongside estate wines. This five-hour class runs from Florence and includes return transport to the winery. You'll work through traditional recipes, sit down to a proper dinner, and taste wines from the property's reserves. Leave with techniques and recipes to recreate the meal at home.
Highlights
- Prepare four Tuscan courses under a chef's guidance
- Dine on dishes you've cooked with paired local wines
- Taste library vintage reserves from the winery
- Return transport from Florence included
- Take home authentic recipes and method notes
What to expect
You'll arrive at the winery and spend the morning or afternoon in the kitchen learning each course step by step. The chef will demonstrate technique, then you'll have hands-on time preparing ingredients and cooking. Expect to work as a small group—there's chopping, stirring, timing to manage. Once the meal is ready, you'll move to the dining area, sit down together, and eat what you've made. The winery staff will pour and talk through their wines as you eat. It's practical cooking, not theatrical—you'll get your hands dirty and leave knowing how to do this again.
