      This food making and wine tasting tour was terrific. Before the tour, they were very communicative in making sure we had transportation to the castle. We used their recommendation, a car service. I wouldn't try driving there yourself unless you give yourself extra time. From the beginning to the end, this whole package is very well orchestrated. The wine tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Chef was patient with us non chefs and gave us hands on experience. He taught us many cooking techniques. The pasta dish we had was the best I have ever made and tasted.

      Our cooking class experience was amazing. The chef was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I have been cooking for years and learned so much. I definitely recommend this class.
      Fun
      Karla_D, Apr 2024
      Cooking class was authentic and fun. Beautiful area. Enjoyed the tour and good facts on wine making.
      Castle, wine, pasta…can it get any better?!
      Cheri_F, Mar 2024
      Everyone we met was so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about wine making, olive oil production, the Tuscany region as well as pasta making. Simone and Jerry were absolutely delightful to meet and get to know. We had so much fun cooking with Jerry and the food was delicious! Simone was a very gracious host and even waited with us until our taxi arrived. The wines were plentiful and so smooth and delicious. Could not pick a favorite. Loved them all.
      Amazing experience!
      Katerina_E, Mar 2024
      This was my favorite thing we did on our trip to Italy! We learned so much about the wine, the grounds and the castle! Then learning how to make our pasta was so fun! The chef and our guide were amazing. An all around great experience!
      Amazing!!
      Caroline_C, Feb 2024
      Absolutely incredible experience! We had so much fun. Tommaso was a great guide and so knowledgeable about the wine. The cooking class was amazing as well, and the food was incredible. We will definitely be trying to replicate the recipe at home. The venue helped me set up transportation to pick us up from our hotel and drive us home. It was $150 round trip, which was worth it in my opinion as taxis are expensive and this was so convenient. This experience was worth every penny!
      Cooking and Wine!
      Jonathan_H, Jan 2024
      Where to begin! The property is absolutely beautiful on the country side and the staff is beyond amazing, they made the tour fun and interesting! The cooking class was the best part for us. The chef was so kind, funny and helped us all feel involved. The meal we made was out of this world and we got to pair it with so many wines. It was a perfect experience that we would recommend to anyone!
      Amazing experience
      Jasmine_M, Jan 2024
      Our tour guide Tomaso was so sweet and knowledgeable. We were running a few minutes late and he called to make sure we were ok and patiently waited for us to arrive to begin the tour. I loved that this tour included not only a tour of the winery but also the pasta cooking class. Most tours offer only one or the other but this gave us the opportunity to experience both, and in a stunning location with a castle and gorgeous Tuscan views of the mountains. Our chef was so friendly and patient and helped us through the entire cooking class. Even my young daughter who is only 12 had so much fun and was able to participate in the cooking class as well. We loved every minute of it and will definitely be recommending it to all of our friends who visit Florence.
      Awesome experience with...

      Awesome experience with knowledgeable and friendly staff who were passionate about their work and beautiful food.
      Book it!
      Anna_R, Nov 2023
      Absolutely amazing. The grounds were breathtaking and the guide shared an amazing history of the castle and their owners. The cellars were something out of a movie. Couldn’t believe how preserved everything was. The chef…extremely engaging and funny. He explained the process with ease and we just had a really great time. Surprisingly everything we prepared was delicious and I say surprisingly because we had some challenges when making the pasta! Not as easy as it looks! Would do it again.
      Bravo to the chef
      deborah_j, Nov 2023
      The history explanation on the tour was so interesting and the cooking class so much fun for even the novice chef
      FUN!
      David_G, Oct 2023
      From start to finish, was a great experience. The tour of the property and history was good. The meal preparation was a blast. Our chef was great! The food and wine was wonderful. Beautiful property and wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
      Book this! You won’t regret it! 🥰
      Sabrina_G, Oct 2023
      This was the part of our vacation I was most looking forward to. It exceeded my expectations! The staff was so fun & informative. We learned a lot of great things & I can’t wait to get home & try to recipes again!😃
      True Tuscan Experience
      Robert_H, Sep 2023
      The experience was amazing. The kids did not participate much in the pasta making experience, but everyone in the family thought that the vineyard was spectacular and the food was 'out of this world' delicious. I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves wine and food!
      Awesome experience
      Gracie_M, Sep 2023
      Absolutely loved the experience! Tommy is a doll and explained every step with detail. The staff was friendly and informative. Would highly recommend.
      Beautiful and Tasty Tour
      Haarika_R, Aug 2023
      The cooking + wine tasting class was an absolute blast! My husband and I lucked out and ended up being the only ones on the tour and the whole time it felt very private. Despite us being the only two, our tour guide Tommaso gave us a wonderful tour throughout the castle and gave us lots of history of the background of the place. After the tour, we had our cooking class with Gerry and we learned to cook pasta, chicken (delicious!) and the traditional Fiorentina cake, schiacciata. We were then served our own cooked meal along with all the wine pairings that went with our lunch. Overall, a great tour!
      Wonderful Tour
      Sean_B, Jun 2023
      This was an amazing tour. My wife and 14 yo daughter and myself went on this tour. It was very intimate, we learned so much about the region and history of the castle, plus had a wonderful time with the coking class. The meal at the end was fantastic and the wine delightful.
      Worth every penny!
      Jacquie_R, Jun 2023
      This experience was worth every penny! Thomas did an amazing job explaining the history of the castle and the wine making process. Chef Jerry was wonderful teaching our class!!! The food was amazing! Our lunch was the best food we have had on our trip, and of the course the WINE! I can’t wait to enjoy our shipment of wine in the US. Thank you to the entire team!
      Best excursion!
      gina_p, Jun 2023
      Such an amazing experience! Beautiful countryside, delicious meal and wine. Loved the tour of the wine caves under the castle! Tomas was a great guide and Chef Jerry was entertaining!
      Awesome Experience- no transportation
      Alyssa_D, May 2023
      The tour and the cooking class were excellent. No complaints. The chef was amazing and we learned many new things, even though we aren’t beginners in the kitchen. The chef made sure every student got a chance to participate and everyone was having a great time. The only issue with this experience is that transportation is not included. They will arrange it for you if you call several days in advance. But taxi’s charge double for the trip.
