Hi from Barbara!

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.

: Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our cooking experience with Barbara. The food was delicious and we learned some new techniques.
: We had a wonderful time, Barbara was very welcoming and gave good directions, food was amazing!
: Barbara was the perfect host and teacher. Our food turned our great . We enjoyed the food and drank some good wine. Definitely recommend.
: The cooking class with Barbara was excellent. We learned how to make pici, gnocchi, a vegetable sauce, and tiramisu. Barbara was very patient and gave easy instructions to follow. We were also given good, local wine to drink while cooking/eating the food we made. We also met Barbara’s family. This was a great experience— we only wish that we spoke more Italian so we could have interacted with her family more. We are excited to cook all of this for our own friends/family soon!
: We absolutely loved every minute of our cooking experience. We came with our family of 5 (kids age 9-15yrs) and Barbara was amazing with all of us. It was such fun! Everyone agrees that this cooking class was a highlight of our trip. We all agree that the pasta and tiramisu that we made was the BEST that we ate all from over Italy. We can’t recommend this class enough!
