COOKING Classes

PRIVATE & EXCLUSIVE COOKING CLASSES

In the most prestigious wineries in Tuscany

We invite our kind guests to forget everything they have heard about cooking schools in Italy and Tuscany: here at WFTI we have created something different from everything that existed before.

ALL our cooking classes are PRIVATE, they are THEMATIC (Renaissance cuisine, Classic Tuscany, Pastry, etc.), include lessons on wine pairings (mostly wines in the TOP 100 of Wine Spectator), are held by award-winning professional CHEFS.

Almost all cooking classes take place over a whole day at the most prestigious wineries in Tuscany, immersed in the most spectacular landscapes and environments in the world of wine & food.

Your personal driver will take you to the place of experience in great comfort, in a prestige car or elegant van, or even by helicopter.

Are you feeling passionate enough for something above any other ever proposed before, something worth trying once in a lifetime?
