We got to sample cheeses and learn about Italian products on the market tour, enjoy beautiful sights at the Tuscan villa, cook 4 courses, and drink Chianti Classico wine! We could not recommend this experience more. Luca was hilarious, and Erika was so kind and encouraging. Both taught us so much about Italian cuisine and made the experience very entertaining.
