Enjoy a hands-on cooking experience with this 5-hour class in a centuries old olive press. Join Chef Giuseppe - a veteran of cooking classes in Italy, the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico - for a shopping trip at the market to purchase ingredients. Sample some Tuscan specialties and prosecco. Prepare a 4-course meal, which you'll eat at the end of class. As Giuseppe is a member of the Italian Sommelier Association, great care is taken to source and feature smaller producers and unusual varieties from the region. If you are passionate about wine, participating in a cooking class with a chef who is also a sommelier, is a great way to experience all the flavours of the region!

An excellent day with Giuseppe from start to finish. He met us off the train took us to farmers market and lovely pasta shop. Then back to the Olive Press kitchen in such a beautiful location. We had a fun day learning about Tuscan cooking and then made a lovely meal which we ate with delicious wines. Giuseppe was an excellent host and definitely recommend to anyone who wants a Tuscan cooking experience

Cannot recommend taking this class with Giuseppe enough! Giuseppe is a fabulous chef and instructor, and our family spent a wonderful day at his family’s mill, learning, cooking, and devouring a four course meal. I’m a vegetarian, and he made sure that we prepped recipes that also fit within my dietary requirements, or made sure to prepare an alternative (I.e., vegetable sauce rather than meat ragu). Beautiful location; really, not to be missed if you’re in this part of Tuscany.

Giuseppe is a chef with lots of knowledge to share. We made an ambitious menu of delicious typically Tuscan and other dishes with him, including a local soup, gnudi in meat ragu, risotto, and a fabulous vanilla and lemon custard. The setting is gorgeous in his family's old olive mill, right on a stream in the countryside, while inside the house itself looks like a magazine with gorgeous dining room, warm hearth and a kitchen to die for. We were part of a large group, which made it challenging for all to have hands on for everything but I don't think most people would be bothered by this. Before the class we had a visit to the local marketplace to buy ingredients and the kind vendor there even gifted us a bag of cherries!
