2-Day Vegan Cooking Class At A Seaside Villa With Oil And Wine Tasting In Bolgheri

このクラスについて

Kristof Steiner, the renown Tel Aviv vegan cook and book author comes to the Academia Culinarium Tuscany to show you that vegan cooking and italian cuisine do indeed make a perfect match. Join one of our two-day courses in a small intimate group of a maximum of 14 participants. Kristof´s wast vegan knowledge, the professionalism of the Culinarium team, the Italian food and wines combined with the sunny, sandy beach at our doorstep will guarantee you an unforgettable holiday.

On the first day we will visit world famous Bolgheri, where we will taste some really serious Supertuscan wines, and visit a (multiple) world champion olive oil producer for an oil tasting on the highest level. We leave early for Bolgheri, some 60 miles/100km down the coast, where our first stop will be the olive grove of two real champions! Simone and Paolo are among the best master olive oil producers in the world, and multiple world champions. You will learn a lot about olives, and how to make premium oil. We will learn how to taste, buy, use and store olive oil. We will then have a vegan lunch with a breathtaking view to the sea.

After lunch we visit Bolgheri itself, passing the world famous, 5km long, cypress tree lined avenue pictured on almost every postcard from Tuscany. In the afternoon we will have our wine tasting. As you might know, Bolgheri is the home of one of the worlds most expensive wines, the Sassicaia, made entirely on french grapes, but on Tuscan soil. Back in Viareggio we will have our late vegan dinner, maybe followed by a vegan ice cream on the Passeggiata. You will spend the night in a century-old seaside villa, full of marble mosaics, high ceilings and palm trees in the garden. The morning awaits you with freshly brewed coffee and a vegan buffet.

On our second day we will start off with a pasta making workshop where Sabrina, our local "mamma" is your teacher. Later in the day Kristof takes over in order to complete the pasta with mouth-watering sauces, entrées and a delicious vegan dessert. Dinner will be served in our sea-view dining room. 

The course contains:

• Cooking session with Kristof Steiner

メニュー

• Prepare more than 10 dishes mainly from the Tuscan kitchen; some dishes may come from other parts of the Mediterranean, like Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel or Turkey, all forming this beautiful mix of sun-drenched vegetables combined with heavenly spices.
• Half day pasta making workshop, where Sabrina, our home cooking pasta expert from Tuscany, will teach you how to make egg-less pasta taste like heaven!

The menu depends on our market raids, but everything we eat will definitely be vegan, healthy and very very delicious!
