Highlights
Enjoy an authentic Tuscan cooking experience at a family-run agriturismo and winery in the countryside of San Gimignano, where traditional recipes, local ingredients and the pleasure of sharing food come together. Step into a welcoming family kitchen and discover the true spirit of Tuscan cooking through hands-on preparation of classic recipes. Learn how simple, seasonal ingredients are transformed into homemade dishes while discovering the culinary traditions and stories behind them. The experience combines cooking, wine and conviviality, giving you the opportunity to prepare fresh homemade pasta, focaccia with seasonal toppings and traditional tiramisù. After cooking, sit down and enjoy the dishes you have prepared, accompanied by a tasting of four wines produced on the estate and the estate's extra virgin olive oil.

About San Gimignano
San Gimignano, in Tuscany, is a hill town of medieval stone towers, built on a ridge above the vineyards of the Elsa valley.
San Gimignano rises on a hilltop in the Tuscan countryside south-west of Florence, its skyline pricked by medieval towers built by rival families as symbols of wealth. More than a dozen still stand. The town is listed by UNESCO, and its stone streets run between two gates to the Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square with a thirteenth-century well, beside the Piazza del Duomo.
Top-ranked sights in San Gimignano: Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta (Duomo di San Gimignano).
