All-Inclusive Tuscany & Umbria Cooking Vacations
In Italy, life is all about food, family and friends, so that is what we are all about. Join us on one of our popular small-group weeks in which we bring you a balance of cooking classes, culinary outings, and excursions to major sightseeing destinations, as well as some of Italy's most wonderful hidden treasures. We'll get wrist-deep in dough and laugh together as we make homemade fettuccine, lasagna & gnocchi from scratch. We'll make our own limoncello, biscotti & gelato, and even country wood-fired pizza. When we are not cooking, our excursions take us to the most stunning Tuscan wineries, cheese factories & olive mills. We visit royalty in Umbria, the sights of Tuscany & Umbria, plus so much more.
Our Tuscan cooking vacations really get you off the beaten path... as hoards of tourists flock to Italy, so much of the real beauty and culture that originally drew them there has become lost. Much of Tuscany and Umbria have turned into giant tourist traps. But our home base of Soriano nel Cimino is still true. It is one of the few places in the Tuscany, Umbria and Rome area that has been able to maintain everything that makes Central Italy so special. Soriano boasts amazing restaurants and pizzerias, adorable cafes, and stunning postcard-perfect scenery. It embodies that vision you have when you close your eyes and think of a Tuscan village... only here it is still unspoiled by mass tourism.
If you want to explore beautiful Tuscany and Umbria while eating amazing food and laughing with new friends in relaxed cooking classes, we are sure you will love our vacations!
