During this unforgettable week, you will learn how to make a variety of classic Italian appetizers, pastas, main courses, and desserts under the tutelage of master chefs. When you are not in the kitchen, regional experts will take you out for olive oil tastings, cheese tastings, winery tours and shopping at the local food markets. There will also be plenty of opportunity to relax and rejuvenate on your own time. As a Politics and Prose guest, you will stay in a stunning 17th century Tuscan villa sitting on a secluded hilltop on an 80-acre large estate. Each bedroom boasts custom-made teak furniture, private marble bathrooms and spectacular views.
This trip is produced together with our partners at Tuscookany. For more details, click here.
“You certainly don’t have to go to Tuscany to practice cooking, but it helps. The entire experience at Tuscookany is first-rate. So good, in fact, that I went back for seconds!”
--Brad Graham, two-time guest at Tuscookany and co-owner of Politics and Prose
