this was my first cooking class. Although I didn't quite know what to expect Pat and Paulo exceeded my expectation. The cooking classes by Pat was very authentic Italian cooking but easy enough for a novice like me to follow and more importantly replicate at home. Pat's cooking delicious and healthy. She also provided very practical tips, for the "red... More

We traveled with another couple to visit parts of Italy that were off the beaten path. We picked Tasty Tuscany, set in a 100 or more year old farmhouse, so we could relax and learn how to cook some authentic Italian dishes. The lessons were informative and not rushed. We all sat together after to dine on our creations. Wine... More

I've been to three other cooking tours in Italy and this one was the best. Pat and Paulo were wonderful and made us feel at home. They were accommodating and flexible. The cooking classes were casual enough that you never felt embarrassed for your inexperience. We cooked some delicious meals and Pat did all the lessons herself. She gave us... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our Tasty Tuscany experience. We learned enough about Italian cooking to inspire us to develop it further now we are home. Pat and Paulo were very good hosts. They were knowledgeable about Italian food (Pat) and local history/culture (Paulo). At dinner and on outings they were willing and able to talk about a whole... More

When five "girlfriends" since early childhood decided to celebrate our 70th birthdays together, we found a recommendation in Tripadvisor for Tasty Tuscany. It sounded like it would fit most of our requirements, so plans were made for a visit. It would have been difficult to have made a better choice. Pat and Paulo have worked out excellent arrangements for visiting... More

My sister and I just completed the "Take a Bite" cooking excursion at Tasty Tuscany. As with most experiences, there were some positives, but given the cost (over $400 CAD per person, per day based on double occupancy!), we certainly expected more. Let's start with the positives: 1) The location is outstanding - but there are many outstanding locations in... More

‘Tasty Tuscany’ is a gem tucked away in the Tuscan hills. The villa draws you in and makes you feel immediately at home with its comfortable and serene atmosphere. Our day trips were well orchestrated and extremely entertaining – especially with Paulo regaling us with stories and the history of the area. And the evenings were devoted to laughter, wine... More

My friend and I had the pleasure to stay at Tasty Tuscany 2 weeks ago. The farmhouse is in a beautiful setting. It's in the tiny hamlet of Aglioti, up a twisty, multiple hair pin turn road set high atop a mountain. The views are spctacular. The surrounding grounds include a 300 tree olive orchard, fruit trees, flowers, fresh herbs,... More

You must put Tasty Tuscany on your Bucket List!! We had such a wonderful time at this warm and welcoming villa. Pat and Paulo charmed us and made us feel like family. The cooking classes were fabulous and the sight seeing trips were breathtaking and informative (who knew pasta grew on trees? LOL). We made some great new friends from... More
