Organic Cooking Classes in Tuscany, Italy

Join us on a week-long organic
cooking class in Tuscany

We'll visit local organic farms, learn to cook flavoursome, healthy food using the freshest local seasonal ingredients, and savour the results together, washed down with delicious biodynamic wine. Buon appetito!

At Organic Tuscany we take you to see the farms where we buy many of our ingredients. You eat at one of the farm restaurants. At another, you can buy wonderful artisanal cheeses, pasta and olive oil to take home.

In our hands-on cooking classes, we transform this fresh, local produce into traditional Tuscan and Italian recipes: fresh pastas, hearty salads, the perfect risotto and delectable Italian desserts. Some of the cooking courses are fully vegetarian and all the others can easily be made vegetarian friendly.

A cooking school and much more

The cooking school is located between Florence and Siena: one of the most beautiful landscapes in Italy. As well as seeing stunning countryside, we explore the medieval cities in the area, and investigate the regional culinary traditions of great food and wine through meals and tastings.

On your free evenings, you can choose whether to investigate the great local trattorie, or stay at home on the farm and relax with a good Chianti, fabulous local tomatoes and delicious local organic cheeses.

Cooking courses which
explore local traditions

You will stay in a charming, lovingly restored farmhouse villa which is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The view from the pool and garden is of the towers of San Gimignano, twenty minutes away.

The cooking classes will take place on site, in a spacious, sunny ground floor kitchen.

The villa is between Certaldo and Barberino Val d'Elsa, two stunning medieval towns which have not really made it onto the tourist trail.
It used to belong to a noble family and housed the farmers who worked the neighbouring fields.
