- Holimanb0 contributionsLove loved our day learning how to cook pasta!This was One of the highlights of our trip! Our host was so enthusiastic and such a great teacher! The setting and everything about the class was perfect! Highly recommend!Written September 10, 2024
- 709viviano0 contributionsA Taste Of TuscanyHello Leon. We had an amazing day with our host. The cooking class was more than we expected. The surroundings of the farm made the experience even that much more enjoyable. Simonetta made us feel warm and welcome. Her knowledge of pasta and sauces are amazing. It is an experience of Tuscany that we will never forget. The lunch that followed was glorious! Wonderful memories were made. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes when I get home! Thank you.Written September 10, 2024
- Dannidhaliwal0 contributionsAmazingThis was the highlight of our Tuscany trip. Davide was so helpful and lovely. He made us feel completely at ease and safe. The views you see on the tour are phenomenal and the picnic afterwards was the perfect way to end it all. Thank you so much!Written August 5, 2024
- Cbcroff0 contributionsFabulous Cooking Class in TuscanyFabulous authentic experience! If you have a time constraint I don’t recommend as we were there closer to 5 hours (activity listed as 3 hours long), but it is worth the time. The setting is beautiful and food was outstanding! Maria and Alister greeted us with drinks and snacks. We prepared 4 courses from beginning to end. The food was delicious! Maria provided us copies of the recipes (unfortunately we accidentally left ours at the house).Written June 29, 2024
- 873noraj0 contributionsA wonderful and memorable experience!Had an amazing winery tour through Valdichiana Living with tour guides Leon and Letizia. Leon and Letizia were very friendly, thorough, and fun to talk to as they shuttled us around the wineries and had lunch with us at the second winery. They also very kindly dropped us off at our Airbnb directly in Montepulciano at the very end of the tour. The tours were well-organized and we were able to enjoy our time at each of the three wineries without feeling rushed. We appreciated the varied selection of wineries, from a small boutique winery, to a larger winery, and lastly with an organic winery. Highly recommend this tour, it was one of the highlights of our Italy trip!Written June 3, 2024
- Peter B0 contributionsFarmhouse cooking experience.We really enjoyed our cooking experience with Simonetta! It was fun cooking in an Italian farmhouse kitchen. At the end of class we dined on the patio eating the delicious meal we had prepared. We would highly recommend this pasta making experience!Written May 16, 2024
- megumibears0 contributionsDisappointing experienceWe signed up for a pasta making class at a Tuscan farmhouse, but what we got did not match our expectations. The class was held at a large bed and breakfast rather than a farm house. The instructor barely spoke English and did not give clear or detailed instructions, and if it weren’t for another pasta class that we had taken earlier in the trip, we would not have known what to do. The instructor also disappeared for 20 minutes halfway through the class to check a guest into the bed and breakfast and show them to their room. Finally, the instructor appears to have served some of the ravioli and tomato sauce that the class made to a couple of restaurant guests that sat down next to us at dinner when we were eating the food we cooked. My friends and I were disappointed and uncomfortable with this experience, particularly given how much we had paid for it.Written October 1, 2023
- Rosie1107970 contributionsGreat traditional experience!Had an amazing cooking class with Daniel at his family farm. Learnt how to make a traditional dish to the area with all local and fresh produce. Was an amazing day.Written September 22, 2023
- nmehravari0 contributionsExcellent 6-hour winery tour with guide and driverMy wife and I took the 6-hour "Wine lovers experience in Montepulciano" a couple of days ago. It started at 10:30 AM. We got picked up by our guide (Diana) and our driver in Piazza Grande in Montepulciano. We visited three very different wineries (small one, medium size one, and a larger one). At each winery we got a tour of the vineyard, the cellar, and tasted several wines. At two of the wineries, the winer maker was our host. The host at the third winery was an extremely knowledgeable staff member. We had a fantastic lunch at the 2nd winery. We returned to Montepulciano at 4:30 PM. An excellent experience.Written September 13, 2023

- Mosspatchkelley0 contributionsFavorite Experience in TuscanyWe took the cooking class at Le Stringaie with Daniel as host and cook. The farmhouse was authentic, with meals prepared using fresh from the land ingredients. We made bruschetta and pici with tomato sauce. Daniel was very hospitable and you could tell he had such passion for flavors and ingredients. Definitely an experience we would recommend!Written March 25, 2023
