Traveler reviews
Best Thing We Did in Italy. We Made It Ourselves.
Farm, pasta, gelato, Tuscan hills, great people, great wine. What else do you need? Half-day bus trip from Florence to a farm with views that make you question every life choice that didn’t bring you here sooner. Our hosts (Angela, Beatrice & Elechora) were funny, knowledgeable, and kept things moving without rushing, perfect balance. We made pasta and gelato from scratch, ate everything we made, drank plenty of wine, and had genuine conversations with travelers we’d never have met otherwise. The communal cooking format breaks the ice instantly. There’s something about bad pasta technique that bonds strangers fast. Big plus for families: our teenager was fully included in everything. A wine tour would have left him watching from the sidelines, instead this had him engaged and laughing the whole time with other teens too. One of those experiences that earns five stars without needing to think about it. Book it.

Fun Memorable Family Cooking Class in the Tuscan Countryside
Noemi, Gloria, Beatrice, Ivana and Stefania were kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. We had a beautiful ride to the countryside and a truly fun time making and eating the delicious good, would do again for sure!
Great day, great fun.
It is a wonderful trip to the Tuscan countryside. We were a family of parents traveling with a recent US high school graduate and a rising HS junior. Everyone had fun. The teachers were enthusiastic and friendly. We also learned enough to try making pasta at home. The gelato was delicious. It’s a very worthwhile experience, especially given the reasonable price point. You get a nice meal, dessert, and wine. All in all, one of the highlights of our two weeks in Italy.
