    Thank you, Barbara!!

    We had the most wonderful evening in Barbara’s home. Met with wine and a cheese board, Barbara shows us how to make gnocchi and then we sat down to enjoy the meal. It was me, my aunt, and two other couples. Very comfortable group and lovely evening with phenomenal food. This evening was a highlight of our trip!
    Highly recommended!

    Thank you to Barbara so much for the wonderful experience! We both agree, this was one of the top highlights of our entire vacation! Barbara and family were so friendly and welcoming, and we had such a great time with all the amazing food and conversation. Outstanding experience I would highly recommend for anyone!
    Great local experience

    Great evening with host Morena. We spent the night talking, cooking, and eating. Great change from the touristy activities to this point.
    This is a must!

    We loved the experience! The food was all homemade, home grown and fabulous!!! Extremely warm welcome and we appreciated everthing about this.
    Excellent and unique experience!

    This was by far our most unique experience in Italy! We enjoyed learning recipes and seeing the final steps to preparing the meal without spending hours of our day rolling pasta and measuring ingredients. Our Cesarina, Barbara, was the most kind and hospitable host. She welcomed us into her home, served the most amazing meal, and shared with us her life and culture in Montepulciano! If you’re looking for a more unique cooking experience during your time in Tuscany this is the class for you! Note - the location was not in walking distance of our stay so we did need to get a taxi to and from the home since we did not have a car.
