Description
Who doesn’t dream of summering in Italy? Whisk your friends and family off to idyllic Tuscany, where your group of 10 will spend 7 nights in a private luxury villa! Your villa comes with a private chef who will prepare breakfast and dinner every day and will also teach a hands-on cooking class in the art of Italian cooking. Your villa lies on a 1,200-acre organic estate which produces some of the ingredients you will be using in your class, such as pasta, olive oil, homemade jam, and wine produced by a local family-owned vineyard. To make your Italian adventure complete, your group will head to a local vineyard for a wine tasting from some of the region’s best!
You will be able to take leisurely strolls around the expansive property where you can take in the organic farm, view the free-roaming wide-horned cattle who seek shade in the estate’s Mediterranean woodland, or explore a lovely garden. You can follow an uphill path that leads to spectacular views stretching across the estate towards the Orcia valley and the silhouette of the castle of Radicofani in the distance. The villa is within easy reach of Florence, Siena, Chianti, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Cortona.
This is the quintessential Italian vacation. Create memories with your loved ones that will last a lifetime!
