Guest of Allegrini family in an Italian Renaissance palace: cooking academy & wine pairing class of the nobility in Veneto

Villa della Torre, a magical place of the Italian Renaissance, is today the heritage of the Allegrini family. The project by Giulio Romano and Michele Sanmicheli provided for the re-proposal of the Domus of Ancient Rome, with all its glories and its classical magnificence.

After the relaunch of the Palazzo della Torre wine with the “double fermentation” method, it has become one of the most loved and appreciated Italian red wines. Inserted 6 times (I mean SIX !!!) in the Top 100 of Wine Spectator, it is one of the wines that made Allegrini famous all over the world.

Absolutely private cooking class in a reserved hall of Villa della Torre, handmade traditional pasta, the spicy Brasato with Amarone, the rustic Sbrisolona cake! At Villa Della Torre you can learn Venetian cuisine and all the secrets of wine-food pairing while having fun… Sometimes you will also find Mrs. Marilisa Allegrini herself at the stove !!!
