Montecatini Terme, Tuscany, Italy
In Tuscany, every meal feels like a celebration. This is a region where recipes are passed down through generations, wine flows as freely as conversation, and the flavours are as rich as the landscapes. On this delicious journey, we’ll knead, roll, and taste our way through pasta and pizza classes, sample world-class wines in Chianti and Montecarlo, and linger over long lunches of fresh, local produce. From rustic farmhouses to elegant hilltop villages, every bite will remind you why Italian cuisine is loved the world over.

Altopascio and Montecarlo

Head into the Tuscan countryside to Marginone, in the Altopascio area of Lucca, where a farmhouse will be the setting for a hands-on cooking class. Guided by local chefs, prepare classic dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients – then sit down to savour the creations over a leisurely lunch. In the afternoon, stroll through the medieval streets of Montecarlo, a hilltop village known for its fine wines, before visiting a nearby winery to sample a selection of local vintages.
Florence by train

Board the train to Florence and arrive in the heart of the Renaissance city for a pasta-making class with a local chef. Roll, shape, and sauce pasta before sitting down to enjoy it for lunch. The rest of the afternoon at leisure – perhaps wander along the Arno, browse the artisan shops, or admire masterpieces in a museum – before returning to Montecatini by train when ready.
Chianti

Journey into the vine-covered hills of Chianti, beginning with a short visit to the village of Radda. Continue to the Castello D’Albola estate for a guided tour, followed by lunch paired with the estate’s renowned wines.

Travel to the family-run Fattoria Settepassi, set in the picturesque Valdinievole countryside, for a hands-on pizza-making class.

Enjoy your freshly made pizza over a relaxed lunch, then return to Montecatini in the early afternoon.
