What you can expect

  • Enjoy an authentic and unique dining experience in Montepulciano, in the heart of Tuscany. Every Thursday morning, the weekly market becomes the starting point of a journey into the flavours of Valdichiana, led by a local chef.

    The day begins among the stalls of the Montepulciano market, where you will select fresh and seasonal ingredients together with the chef. Freshly picked vegetables, local cheeses, artisanal cured meats, and other local delicacies become an opportunity to discover stories, traditions, and interesting facts related to Tuscan cuisine.

    It's not just shopping, but a moment of encounter with the territory and with those who live there every day.

    After the market, the experience continues in the historic old town of Montepulciano, inside an elegant historic palazzo, where the cooking class awaits you. Here you will learn how to prepare a complete traditional Tuscan menu: starter, fresh handmade pasta, dessert and, of course, a glass of Montepulciano wine to pair with it.

    This cooking class in Tuscany is designed for those who want to go beyond a simple food tasting and experience the destination through its products, recipes, and the conviviality that makes every Italian table special.

    A perfect experience for couples, small groups and food lovers who want to discover Montepulciano in an authentic and engaging way.
