Lezione di cucina biologica in una casa di campagna con piscina

We loved this cooking class—we made three different pastas and sauces as well as homemade tiramisu. All were so delicious. We also had Fontanaro’s wine while we cooked. Then after the meal Alina gave us a tour of Fontanaro’s olive oil production and we were able to purchase some. Alina was such a great teacher and so passionate about slow cooking and sustainability. Her daughter was also adorable. The meal we had with the other students was one of the very best we had in three weeks of traveling around Italy. Can’t recommend enough.

Beautiful setting under the Tuscan sun. Great food and drink. Try to choose small classes. It would be helpful if everyone got the recipes ahead of time. The hotel was clean and picturesque.

My boyfriend and I had an absolute amazing experience with Alina! We enjoyed learning about olive oil, making pasta, and exploring her beautiful property. We highly recommend this experience to anyone! It was our favorite activity in Tuscany!

What an amazing experience, Alina was amazing and guided all of us through the entire class, explaining everything and also proving a historical lesson on where the food or recipe originated. We really enjoyed it- I went with my cousin and my 10 year old son. I cannot wait to go back, we have another class planned for August. They mentioned a painting class that they planned to have next year, I would love to come back for that too. You will not be disappointed or hungry, the farm is beautiful and so loved by their entire family. Their commitment to sustainable living is incredible, with everything they do they make sure it has little to no affect of the environment, very little goes to waste.

Alina Pinelli led our cooking class & she is delightful. She started us with espresso, then we made 4 different pastas with all different sauces and tiramisu. It was all AMAZING. We also did an organic olive oil tasting from EVOO produced on property. She also enlighten us about choosing quality olive oil. We also enjoyed their personal labeled wine throughout the preparation. The property was gorgeous. I would love to stay on property if we ever return.

Worth it. If you’re considering it, do it. You definitely won’t regret it. Entertaining, delicious, educational and incredibly fun experience! We had the best time leatning how to make authentic homemade pastas and sauces. Great atmosphere and surroundings. We hit the jackpot with the other couples we met that were our ‘classmates”. Not only was Alina, our host, extremely talented, welcoming and kind, but she also shared so much about the finer points of cooking, nutrition, olive oil and slow food. We didn’t want to leave. Honestly. The experience was so amazing that we didn’t want it to end. Truly remarkable experience in a setting you’ll never forget. A+ Thanks Alina.
