Your experience
Imagine a vegetarian Tuscan aperitivo in a terraced olive grove in the hills of Lucca, cultivated naturally and sustainably. It begins with a walk among the olive trees, discovering environmentally friendly farming techniques and the history of a farm from the 1300s. This is followed by a tasting of locally produced organic extra virgin olive oil, with intense fruity notes, accompanied by olives from the olive grove. The cutting board includes bruschetta with fresh vegetables from the garden, local organic cheeses with artisanal jams and tasty vegetarian samples. All paired with local organic wine or natural juices, enjoying the panoramic view and peace of the Tuscan countryside.

- Margherita and Pierre went above and beyond to welcome our family into their home for tiramisu and pasta making. They were excellent hosts and made it a fun and interactive experience. We learned about local agriculture and all of the hard work that goes into making pasta and harvesting olives for making olive oil. We loved getting to visit their farm, learn about all of the herbs and local ingredients they cook with, and how they make use of everything that grows in their garden. At the end of the evening, sitting down for a pasta meal and wine, followed by the tiramisu (a family recipe of Margherita‘s) was the perfect end to an evening. We’d recommend to anyone wanting to experience an authentic taste of local Lucca cooking!
- Margherita made the cooking class an unforgettable experience on her olive farm in the mountains. She provided 3 great recipes which we had to prepare and gave us a lot of information about the ingredients used and the way how to prepare them. Furthermore, Margherita was very patient and showed us how to improve our handling in making pasta. All in all, it was a pleasure to meet Margherita, her husband and the other two guests in this class and share such a great evening together with a lot of new things learned and very good dinner at the end. We just can say thank you very much for this great evening.

Cesarina from 2023Location: Lucca Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchMy cuisine is healthy and sustainable, made with natural seasonal products that I harvest and process myself. These are either grown on our farm or sourced from a network of responsible local producers. My preference is to offer vegetarian dishes inspired by the traditional Lucchese Tuscan cuisine, with international influences. For two years now, I have been researching and experimenting with dishes based on herbs, vegetables, and flowers to showcase and familiarize people with the landscape of Lucca's olive groves through the senses.
