Private Experience
Your experience

    Join me, Barbara, a local Cesarina from Montepulciano, for a special cooking class where we'll create a three-course menu of authentic Tuscan dishes. We'll start by making the famous handmade pasta called pici all'aglione, a savory tomato and garlic sauce that will leave your taste buds craving for more. For our main course, we'll prepare tender meat slow-cooked in a rich red wine ragu, served with crispy roasted vegetables. Finally, we'll end our meal with traditional Tuscan cookies paired with a glass of Vin Santo. As we cook and eat together, I'll share with you the stories and history behind each dish, giving you a true taste of Tuscan life. Come and join me for an unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Tuscany.

    Barbara was the most delightful host and we had a wonderful evening learning how to make 3 delicious dishes. No prior experience is necessary as you are guided step-by-step through each process. Being welcomed into someone’s home was very special and added greatly to the pleasure we gained from the experience. We loved it! Highly recommended.

    Taking a class with Barbara was a highlight of our trip. She is wonderful, her home is lovely, and you get to experience the town as neighbors pop in to drop off fresh ingredients. The food was fantastic, and my wife and I cannot wait to make more at home. Again, learning was fun but Barbara really made the experience.

    Cesarina from 2018Location: Montepulciano    Languages: Italian and English
    Barbara welcomes us in Montepulciano Station, a historic village nestled on the hills in the province of Siena, near the characteristic medieval village is surrounded by three circular walls and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the area. If you see it for yourself, you'll soon understand why: the old town sprawls over a steep hill, adorned with stunning towers and steeples, while its square opens onto the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan countryside. Our Cesarina’s country house encapsulates this charming atmosphere. Her beautiful wine cellar is home to dozens of aging bottles of local wine, and the rest of the apartment is warm and welcoming. It is here that Barbara serves us her local specialties; simple, but with sterling character and unforgettable taste.
