Tuscany Auction Booster Packages
We offer cooking classes and wine tours as add-ons to the Tuscany accommodations packages. If you wish to include these booster packages, simply choose how many cooking classes and/or wine tours you’d like and add their price to the selected accommodations package.
Cooking Classes taught by our professional Cortona chefs
We offer cooking classes where our chefs come to our guests’ homes, as well as cooking classes taught in a countryside villa right outside the walls of Cortona. The location of the cooking class depends on the guests’ particular accommodations (some kitchens are not large enough) or which chefs are available. Throughout the class, guests will prepare a variety of traditional Tuscan dishes and, afterwards, will get to enjoy the multi-course meal of their own making.
Duration: Class: 3-4 hours, Dinner: 2+ hours
