Description

Good to Know

Escape Florence for a renowned Chianti Classico estate where pasta-making is a daily ritual. This experience blends professional culinary instruction with an evocative local legend. Before cooking, you’ll discover the story of the noblewoman and her seven maidens who protect these vineyards—a mystery reflected in the estate’s designer wine labels. In the kitchen, a Professional Chef guides you in crafting perfect egg tagliatelle, creamy Cacio & Pepe sauce, and authentic Tiramisù. The highlight is the "farm-to-table" banquet: a generous feast including a Tuscan appetizer platter, your handmade pasta, and a second course of "Pici" with artisanal ragù. The meal is elevated by a technical tasting of 5 premium wines (Vermentino, Chianti Classico, and Supertuscans). This half-day journey offers the perfect balance of hands-on learning, legendary storytelling, and high-end gastronomy, ensuring a return to Florence by late morning with memories and recipes to last a lifetime.

Nossa manhã maravilhosa!!

Que experiência maravilhosa!! Escolheram uma vinícola super bacana e fomos fazer primeiro a aula de culinária que acabou sendo privativa porque nosso grupo escolheu a outra opção da degustação em duas vinícolas. E aí depois fizemos a degustação e saboreamos os pratos que preparamos, foi único!!! E o guia Aaroon foi super prestativo e falava muito bem português o que pra gente fez toda a diferença!!
