The cuisine of Castelnuovo Berardenga reflects the essence of Tuscan gastronomy, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, homemade pastas, and simple yet flavorful dishes. The area is famous for its Chianti Classico wines and traditional recipes like pici pasta, ribollita (a hearty bread soup), and cantucci (almond biscuits often paired with dessert wine). The cooking class pays homage to these timeless traditions by incorporating them into the recipes you'll learn to prepare. Cooking Class: Spend about 2.5 hours learning and preparing classic Italian dishes under the guidance of a professional chef. Wine Tasting: Enjoy a 45-minute guided tasting of fine wines, including IGT, Chianti, and Chianti Classico, paired with snacks like salami, bruschetta, and other local delicacies. Dinner: The remaining time is dedicated to savoring the meal you've prepared, accompanied by expertly paired Tuscan wines.
