    This was the highlight of our 2.5 week vacation to Italy!! Luca was absolutely fantastic- engaging, funny, so talented! My entire family loved him! Carmela was so charming and so good at what she does. We had so much fun learning and buying our products at the Mercato. The house where we cooked and ate was absolutely stunning. I felt like I was in a movie! Truly the most magical day!

    What an incredible day! My husband and I had the best experience with Gloria and Carmela. Started with a great tour of the market where Gloria guided us around and showed us some great vendors to pick out our ingredients for the lunch we made later. The Tuscan Farmhouse was absolutely idyllic. Carmela was an amazing teacher and had an infectious spirit that you can't beat! The instruction and food was all phenomenal with a beautiful backdrop. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

    This was one of our favorite memories from our trip to Florence. Luca, our host, was so funny that he had every age person in our class laughing. He made the experience feel personal! The class is so interactive that it made it go by quickly. By the end we felt like we had gotten to know so many different people from around the world. This class surpassed all of my expectations and I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful property for your cooking class experience.

    Luca single handedly enhanced our experience ten fold! He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and had an amazing personality. We learned so much from him and had an amazing time from shopping for our organic ingredients at the market center to driving through the rolling hills of Tuscany to his ability to make teaching how to cook a magnificent! We loved Luca!

    This was the most amazing tour! Luca was outstanding. The tour begins at the market where you collect some ingredients for your lunch, then take a NICE bus to the estate. The views of Florence are picturesque. Luca and Carmela were the best! We learned how to make bruschetta, pasta, bolognese, pork roast, and tiramisu. One tour that I would definitely repeat!
