We had our class with Gaia who was amazing! The class was in a beautiful castle set in remote Tuscany with amazing country side views on the way in. When we got there Gaia was so warm and welcoming making it feel like we arrived at a friends kitchen. Together we made fresh pasta that became mushroom ravioli and beef stew, homemade meatballs, and our own tiramisu. The recipes were Gaia’s family recipes and were so easy to make. The experience was incredible and we can’t wait to try out the methods we learned back home. I would recommend this experience to everyone and if you’re lucky enough to work with Gaia then consider it a success already!

Tommas was an incredible guide! He was knowledgeable about the area and wines. Request him for an amazing day in the hillsides.

Tomato was AMAZING! He made our tour. He was the best guide. The tour was perfect. All of the wineries were perfect! We will be a return customer.

Tommaso was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and nice. He gave us one incredible day with a variety of wine and lunch.

Martina was excellent! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed her as our driver and guide. Offered to drop us off in a location where she knew we wanted to visit instead of directly back to the hotel. Highly recommend! Did not love the first winery we visited- not bad wine but the owner who took us around was nice but didn’t seem overly interested in wine or his family’s property.

We got a full Tuscany cooking experience wi the Danda and we loved every minute! She really took the time to show us around the Florence market to get fresh items for our meal and even encouraged us to sample different items. She then warmly welcomed us into her home where we prepared the most delicious meal-pasta and cheesecake. Danda was detailed in teaching us how to make pasta (and dessert) and very patient. This helped us feel confident and comfortable (which allowed us to fully enjoy the experience). We then relaxed on a beautiful patio and enjoyed the best meal we’ve ever had (we consider ourselves foodies). Honestly, the entire experience from start to finish was incredible and I recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

Our driver, Martina, was wonderful We enjoyed our conversations and the info she shared with us about wine and the beautiful area of Italy. Highly recommend this tour!

This was the most amazing experience! We learned to cook and eat like a true Italian! This is a time I will never forget. I recommend this to everyone! Danda is a beautiful chef who teaches with patience and expertise. A must do!!

What a fabulous experience! Tommaso, our guide, couldn't have been any better. We visited beautiful boutique wineries unique to the region and tasted so many new wines. Knowledgeable about wine and the history of the region, Tommaso was so helpful with our purchases (wine and olive oil!) and a great guide to the small shops in Castillina. Patient to a fault with our awkward Italian ("How do you spell that? Am I saying this correctly?"), his command of English was flawless. He helped make an already exciting dream trip that much more memorable! Grazie mille!

Amazing trip with Martina. She was amazing and the three wineries were gracious, professional, and wonderful. highly recommend.

Cinque Terra with Mateo! He was the perfect driver/guide! Made us feel safe and well taken care of and special. He anticipated all of our needs and desires in terms of what to see and how much to do. He was filled with knowledge and had answers to all of our questions. Thank you for such a special and wonderful day!

Such a special day with our cooking instructor Gaia and our driver/guide Martina! It was absolutely perfect and delicious! We learned so much and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you for creating such a special experience for us!

Tana was our guide around Florence and she was lovely and wonderful and perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed her guidance. She provided a nice balance of highlights and also some off the beaten path specially catered to our interests.

We went on a Siena walking tour and Colombaio private wine tasting on 9/20/24. Our driver, Tommaso, was excellent! He arrived on time and communicated in very good English. He was also very informative and pleasant. He gave us a lot of recommendations for Florence. We truly enjoyed our experience with Tommaso and highly recommend him.

Tommaso was our driver and took us to Danda’s Tuscan home. We made pasta and tiramisu in her kitchen and then enjoyed our homemade lunch on her patio looking over the neighboring homes and fields. It was a wonderful experience in a perfect setting. Definitely a day our family will always remember!
