Culinary Masterclass in Tuscany.
Culinary Masterclass is a very fun and creative activity that allows you to learn about the culture and cooking of Tuscan cuisine by preparing traditional dishes in an informal family atmosphere.
The course will allow you to prepare a variety of dishes, from different types of pasta, to pizzas, desserts and local Tuscan dishes.
Participants will be given aprons, chef’s hats, utensils and tools needed to prepare the dishes.
Participants, under the careful guidance of the chef, will prepare a full meal (or several) which, when ready, they will be able to savour with fine wines.
It is also possible to prepare dishes based on Renaissance recipes, following in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci. During the course, the chef will share stories related to the kitchen utensils and court receptions organised by Leonardo da Vinci. The menus we offer are not original but have been developed by our chef taking into account the products available at the time, cooking techniques and seasonality. The menu will be served paired with wines.
Also, after cooking, you can stay and enjoy the exclusive dishes that the chef will prepare for you. For those who prefer to relax outdoors, there is the option of an exclusive dinner in the vineyard, not just any vineyard, but the Leonardo da Vinci vineyard, which is located in the villa’s Italian garden. The pergola vineyard was planted on 2 May 2019, the 500th anniversary of the genius’ death, with clippings taken from a vineyard donated by Leonardo to Lodovico il Moro, located in the Atellani house in Milan.
Courses are available in English or Italian. If you need an assistant translator, our managers will be able to help you.
We can also book a shuttle service for your convenience.
Culinary courses are usually held from Monday to Friday. Please enquire in advance, especially in high season.
