What Guests Love

- Authentic Italian dishes and techniques
Guests say the farmhouse setting, complete with garden, animals and a peaceful atmosphere, creates an authentic Italian backdrop. The hosts are praised for their warmth, expertise and flexibility, even accommodating special diets. Participants enjoy hands‑on activities—from gathering eggs and vegetables to making cheese, pasta, gnocchi and traditional dishes—using fresh, home‑grown ingredients. The experience leaves them with new cooking skills, memorable flavors and a deeper appreciation of local food culture.
What to Expect
At the farmhouse, you'll always be met and greeted with a nice locally produced glass of Falanghina or Aglianico wine and previously prepared appetizers. In a comfortable setting around a table, you'll learn about the importance of using seasonal products and the use of them in traditional Italian cooking.
Following this appetizer-time, you'll enjoy a tour through the school's organic vegetable garden. Here, all ingredients will be handpicked directly from nature, including eggs from happy chickens. You'll discover how seasonal, organic products are grown, how to recognize them, and make a selection based on the recipes.
With the guidance of Mother Nature, you'll prepare a delicious 4-course menu following traditional family recipes and cooking techniques.
After the hands-on cooking session, you'll enjoy your starter, pasta dish, main dish, and dessert with an unmissable glass of local wine (or a few).
It's a guarantee; that you'll leave the house with a big smile on your face. Additionally, you'll get a small surprise from the house to take with you.
