Description

Enter your host's farmhouse located on the hills around Lucca and enjoy a world where the art of cooking is celebrated, where the tantalizing aromas of Tuscan cuisine fill the air, and where the rich flavors of local ingredients grown organically in our garden take precedence, under Antonietta’s expert guidance.

' You'll never look at a tomato the same way again! '

You will learn how to make authentic fresh pasta from scratch, prepare the dough and shape it. Antonietta will teach you the secrets of making the best pasta sauce with tomatoes grown in her garden and the main ingredient of her cooking, lots of love and calm, as Italian grandmothers do.

Once finished, sit around the table in the farmhouse hall without any formality, in an atmosphere of friendship and joy, and taste cold cuts, cheese, bruschetta, and vegetable delicacies prepared by Antonietta, who loves to cook. As a first course, taste the pasta you prepared earlier and, last but not least, enjoy dessert. To accompany it all you will have wine from the area, and to end on a high note a shot of homemade limoncello
