Cooking Class at the Val d’Orcia Mill

This experience will take you on a journey from the grain of wheat to the table, by way of the kitchen. It begins with a welcome aperitif, where you will discover how focaccia is made with ancient grains. The experience continues with a guided tour of the castle mill. During the visit you will see with your own eyes how our ancient grains are turned into pasta, watching the stone-grinding and the bronze-die extrusion.

An experience that will show you the world of cereals, flour and pasta as you have never seen it before. With the freshly stone-ground flour, we will move to the restaurant kitchen next to the mill, where you will take part in the cooking class. During the lesson you will learn to prepare classic pici with aglione sauce, Tuscan bread soup and traditional cantucci. At the end of the cooking class you can sit down comfortably at the table to taste the fruits of your work and enjoy a delicious four-course lunch.
