When I booked this class, I had no idea just how much fun it would be. Tiziano, Ludovico, and Chris made it feel like we were all just hanging out and cooking in the family kitchen. By the end of the night, my face hurt from smiling and laughing so much. You will not regret a single moment of this experience.

This tour exceeded expectations! Absolutely worth being a part of this class, as this is a skill you take home and share with your family, and friends. The class brought my husband and I so much joy, from sight seeing Chianti region, a charming Tuscany cottage, and having a blast cooking with Letizia, Alessia, and Carmela.

Perfect for our family!
