From the guide

This is not your typical day trip—it's a boutique, intimate journey into the heart of Italy set on a peaceful family-owned farmhouse surrounded by olive trees. Led by a local chef, you’ll spend the day immersed in nature, good food, and genuine hospitality.

More than a class, it’s a rare opportunity to cook, eat, and connect in a real working farmhouse, far from the tourist trail.

From garden to table, you'll prepare traditional Roman dishes with fresh local ingredients and enjoy them over wine and conversation.

Visit Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site of magical fountains and Renaissance gardens—a perfect spot to soak in beauty and take the best photos of your trip.

This is the kind of day that stays with you.
