Chianti Cooking Class with Tasting of Wine and Olive Oil - Day Tour

The Family Tuscan Cooking class will start with a tour of a Vernaccia vineyard, one of the oldest in San Gimignano.

Then, you will be accompanied to a family kitchen to learn the secrets of Tuscan cuisine. First, you will start to prepare the dessert which can be a traditional Chocolate Salami, a classic Margherita Cake (made using a secret family recipe), the famous Cantuccini, or delicious sweet biscuits with red wine and extra virgin olive oil. Then, you will move on to the preparation of pasta (Pici or Ricotta Gnocchi), to which you will combine a sauce based on seasonal vegetables. Finally, you will prepare the famous Tuscan bruschetta and 3/4 different toppings. At the end of the cooking lesson, you will have the chance to enjoy what you have prepared in one of the exclusive private tasting rooms or the garden with a view of the San Gimignano Medieval towers. You will be provided with an additional course and a tasty selection of Tuscan cold cuts and cheeses during the meal.

This option also includes a choice of at least four organic and biodynamic local wines, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti Colli Senesi, and 6 kinds of extra virgin olive oils, natural and flavored.
