On April 25, 2008 we inaugurated our brand new kitchen - a professionally equipped culinary space dedicated to everyone who loves to cook and eat. Located inside our villa, it opens into a terrace with a gorgeous view of the Tuscan countryside. It’s a paradise for the senses.  

Our inaugural course was held for a special Mother/Daughter group brought to us by our good friend Terry and Debra of Terenzio Tours. This inaugural cooking course focused on various Chianti Kitchen classics. Click on the names to download recipes.
