Brunello Cooking Lesson at Sunset

Discover the magic of Montalcino with a private cooking school inside a medieval castle. Learn to cook typical Tuscan dishes with us. The secret of Tuscan cuisine is simplicity. Many of today’s classics were born out of necessity. Farmers sought flavour and nourishment from whatever ingredients were most readily at hand, and these became recipes that were then handed down from generation to generation.

For Italians today, a perfect bite magically takes us back to our grandmother’s kitchen, where we spent the afternoon together mixing, chopping and rolling. This lesson aims to take you with us on this magical journey back to our grandmother’s kitchen. Together we will make simple, hearty dishes that you can then prepare at home on your own. Of course, we will use seasonal ingredients and vegetables.

During the lesson we will also have the opportunity to introduce you to the fundamentals of Tuscan cooking and regional specialities, from pappa al pomodoro to pici. After a visit to the medieval Castello di Tricerchi and its winery, it’s time to put on your aprons!

Together we will learn to prepare 4 different dishes: a first course, a main course with a side dish and a dessert, all based on traditional Tuscan cuisine. After preparing your culinary creations, relax and enjoy the fruits of your hard work, accompanied by an aperitif, a Brunello wine tasting and a special dessert.
