My private Tuscany Cooking Class and wine tasting tour is a full immersion in Tuscan home cuisine. And given that the class is held at a winery, we’ll also be enjoying the tasting Chianti and Super Tuscan wines. Not only, the estate produces genuine Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which you will taste and use during the morning’s cooking.
You’ll learn how to prepare an authentic four course Tuscan meal based on local home cooking. Though the focus is on authenticity, the dishes have been chosen to make sure you’ll be able to find the ingredients and prepare them once you’re back home.
Around midday it’ll be time to sit down and enjoy the four course meal you’ve prepared, and of course it will be served with a paired tsting of the estate’s wines. By the way…a glass of wine (or two) will also be offered during the morning’s cooking session.
The afternoon will have us driving through the gorgeous countryside with stops for photos and contemplation of the gorgeous scenery.
Our venue for the day is Maurizio Brogioni winery, one of the smallest family estates of the Chianti wine district. It’s located near Greve in Chianti, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, and the scenery is everything you’d expect of a Tuscan winery. The owner Maurizio, born and bred locally comes from a generational wine family, and his contagious passion for the land and its products will be obvious on the day.
His small production of wines which are only available directly, have been getting a lot of praise in recent years.
Your Tuscany Cooking Class – What to Expect
On arrival there will be a tour of the estate’s vineyards and olive orchard, followed by a visit to the cellars. Then, under the expert guidance of Viola and Cristina, you’ll take you places in the kitchen to prepare a genuine Tuscan four course meal. The recipes are entirely based on local Tuscan home cooking. The cooking session lasts around two and half hours, and when all is ready, it’ll be time to take your seat at the table to reap the rewards of your “hard” work.
Included with the meal will be a tasting of the Brogioni estate’s Chianti, Chianti Reserve & Supertuscan wines.
From experience I can tell you that after an abundant meal and wine, a certain drowsiness sometimes sets in. Consequently, there’s no rush to leave, and if necessary, we can take time for a rest and recover some energy.
The Afternoon in Tuscany
We say goodbye to Viola, Cristina and Maurizio (sometime around 3:00pm), and within minutes we’ll be immersed in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Wherever you cast your eyes, vineyards, olive orchards and Cyprus trees are blended into the surrounding woodland with outstanding aesthetic taste. I’ll explain the countryside from an agricultural and historic point of view, and we’ll make a number of stops for photos and contemplation of the scenery.
We arrive back at your accommodation at approximately 5:00pm
Tour duration: approx. eight hours door to door.
