CHOCOLATE Factory “AMEDEI Tuscany”: PRO masterclass & PRO guided tour + COCOA based classic Tuscan LUNCH

An unforgettable journey in which your senses will be led from the sun-drenched cocoa plantations to the enveloping aroma of chocolate through an exclusive, exciting path.

Much like what happens in Tim Burton’s film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” you’ll immerse in a MAGIC ATMOSPHERE entering the gates of a former cast iron foundry with the charme of an old-fashioned laboratory.

Amedei creates harmony between ingredients, textures and flavors, producing chocolates with unique aroma profiles.

An all-Italian know-how in which elegance, simplicity and passion for chocolate blend together generating tastes that evoke the magic of the land where they are created: Tuscany.

Then chocolate-cocoa based classic Tuscan LUNCH in an historic restaurant in the Park that was a private property of His Royal Highness the King of Italy.

The Chocolate artisan PHILOSOPHY: from bean to bar, from plantations to Tuscany.

The FINAL experience for the chocolate gourmet!

Experiment on your own the use of chocolate and cocoa in traditional Tuscan plates, with the perfect pairing of wines & spirits.

Your Amedei ambassador will stay with you during lunch to better appreciate the use of chocolate and cocoa in cooking.

The “Poldino” Restaurant is located in the Tenuta di San Rossore, once owned by HRH the King of Italy, and the Royal Family held in high esteem Sandro’s (current owner) great-grandfather.
