Overview
Immerse yourself in Italian food, wine and culture under the Tuscan sun in this seven-day journey of gastronomic discovery. Live the Italian foodie dream with intimate cooking classes, private dinners, tastings and behind the scenes tours at artisanal organic food and wine producers. Guided by your experienced chef, pasta maker and host, Oli, you'll try your hand at making beautiful handmade fresh pasta, gnocchi, risotto, pizza and Italian desserts, and meet some of the leading sustainable food and drink producers in Tuscany. Located in the untouched Maremma region of southern Tuscany in the charming village of Roccatederighi, your retreat is in the perfect location to visit artisan winemakers, fishermen, farmers, cheese producers and honey makers. You'll stay in traditional apartments with wooden beams and exposed Medieval stonework in a converted Tuscan 'palazzo', with its own pool where you can sip wine and watch the sun dip over the valley. ***Please be advised that we are based in an area of authentic and medieval hill villages in southern Tuscany. The accommodation and some of the activities and classes are in these villages where some of the streets can be slightly steep and uneven. A certain level of mobility is needed. Please let us know if you have any concerns around this due to health issues etc. On a similar note, these are traditional communities and some of the infrastructure won’t be as modern as what you may be used to. There is no air conditioning in the accommodation, and while wifi is available in the apartments, it is not high speed.***
