Cooking with the Family

Meet your driver at your hotel lobby and depart for the Chianti area, renowned for being one of the most prestigious DOCG regions where Chianti Classico wine is produced. As you travel along the famous wine route “Chiantigiana,” you will be captivated by the picturesque hills adorned with vineyards and olive groves. Throughout your journey, you will encounter the symbol of the Gallo Nero (black rooster) scattered amidst the charming countryside and hilltop towns, many of which owe their names to Chianti, such as Greve in Chianti.

During your excursion, you will have the opportunity to visit a typical Chianti farmhouse and meet the warm-hearted family that resides there. Immersed in vineyards and olive trees, this quintessential Tuscan family will introduce you to the ancient and traditional recipes of the region, guiding you through the process of kneading dough. One of the most renowned specialties is the preparation of fresh pasta, including pappardelle, tagliatelle, or tagliolini, filled with fresh ricotta and herbs, as well as potato gnocchi complemented by traditional sauces. You will have the chance to craft one of these doughs on your own. The main course will be followed by a delectable second course and a mouth-watering dessert.

After enjoying your meal and indulging in some leisurely time, your personal driver will accompany you back to your accommodation.
