My friend and I signed up for a day of cooking with Manuela and Silvio due to the menu and the fact that we could choose what we wanted to make. The class took place in the family home, in the countryside north of Siena. It was fun that there were only two of us in the class and the... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of cooking in menuela and silvios home last month. They opened the class for the 2 of us, and chose a menu that we had discussed and expressed foods that we wanted to cook! We had such a great afternoon-highly recommend doing this cooking class whilst in Tuscany! More

Exceptional experience My wife Ieva, our friend Lorita and I had a chance to enjoy 2 days cooking classes with Organic Tuscany. As our group was small so we were offered to have these classes at Silvio’s and Manuela’s home – ancient tower, which long time ago was a part of a castle, but later it was rearranged into a... More

This was the perfect vacation. The classes were wonderful; the recipes were manageable; and the food was outstanding (am I allowed to say that since we cooked it ourselves?). Shilpa and Ricardo were welcoming and warm. Clara knew all there was to know about the local town and activities. Manuela and Maria Novella taught us without making it feel like... More

I found this vacation through a Google search for "unique vacations " and it is truly that. Not only did I experience Tuscany, but experienced country living and cooking. Shilpa, Ricarrdo and their entire "crew" are wonderful. The cooking classes were amazing and our food was really delicious - the best part was eating under the old chestnut tree every... More

We planned our evening cooking class with Manuela at Organic Tuscany based on several reviews and the warm, inviting pages of their website. It was absolutely everything we had hoped for and much more! We came as students and left as friends. We were able to choose the menu in advance and selected what I'll call the "Italian Thanksgiving." Two... More

We were only in Tuscany for one day and fancied trying our hand at some Italian cooking. I contacted Organic Tuscany and Silvio and Mauela replied offering us a one day course for €130 per person. We were able to choose the date ourself (I did book back in Feb so provided plenty of notice). Nearer our departure date I... More

We had the amazing pleasure of spending a couple of days with Silvio and Manuela for cooking classes. With the help of their beautiful family my daughters (ages 13 and 15) and my sister in law, created some absolutely amazing dishes. We spent several hours in the kitchen and then enjoyed a meal with the family - a real treat... More
