Italian Cooking School 9 hrs Day Tour in Rome

As part of our stay in Rome, 6 of our family members took a day trip up to Tuscany (San Gimignano- Tenuta Torciano), where we participated in a pasta making class followed by a wine tasting and eating of our creation! The trip up was a bit longer than I anticipated but our kids (3 and 5) handled it well. Our chef, Antonio, made the class really relaxed and fun for all of us- I have never seen my daughter so immersed in a cooking activity! Thank you! For the wine tasting, we sampled close to 6 or 8 wines and the sommelier was very engaging and informative. Unfortunately our kids had become a little distracted at that point but the outside gardens were a great place to let them explore and let out some energy while our family took turns sampling the wines. Our driver, Salvatore Dell’Anna, was also wonderful once again (he had previously taken us from Sorrento to Rome) and was very courteous and kind to our family. We’ve really had a great time getting to know him and learning more about the various regions of Italy! Overall- we highly recommend this tour! Only thing I’d change is adding more time (leave at 8/8:30am rather than 9) and budget to be home between 7 and 8 if coming from Rome because it is a little over a 3 hour drive each way. Our estimated time was initially 9 to 6 and we were thankfully able to make adjustments to increase the time.
