Things to do in San Gimignano, Tuscany: The Best Cooking Classes
San Gimignano, known as the "city of beautiful towers," had 72 towers in its heyday. Now 14 remain, and, rising above Tuscany's Elsa Valley, they make the town look like a medieval dreamscape. Take in the fresco-covered Collegiate Church, the Civic Museum and the views from atop 177-foot Torre Grossa. Daytrippers from Florence tend to fill up the streets during the day, so for a more up-close-and-personal look at the town, spend the night.

I'm Katia and me and my uncle Fulvio run the Tuscan cooking class in our family Boutique farmhouse Il Vicario. We are 4 km far from the fantastic town of San Gimignano and we teach you how to prepare a real Tuscany meal but most important we teach you how the food should taste. Your meal will be a celebration and a fantastic time to spent in a real Tuscany family.

Can’t say enough about how great Katia was. In a postcard setting, in a home built over a thousand years ago, Katia taught us the art of pasta making. She was able to meet the needs and keep the interest of our group of 6 ranging in age from 10 to 70. And did I mention how yummy our creations were? Best of all we plan to keep cooking together when we get home.

In a world where frenzy is the rule, we are convinced that great importance must be put on regaining possession of the fleeting moments to restore your energy. What better way to do that than by creating something with your own hands?! We want to share with you what until now have been our secrets: love, which is created with a ladle in your hand, a pot on the stove, a little flour scattered everywhere, and harmony, which eventually finds its peak round the table.The kitchen is for us the Cradle of Love. As we share our secrets, we also want to share our stove!! Join us in our kitchen for a wonderful cooking experience together!We recommend our basic cooking classes to the people who approach for the first time to the Tuscan cooking tradition. To dishes with special flavors which are prepared using only the best local products other than those of our own vegetable garden. You will learn to prepare handmade pasta, ravioli, ribollita and other delicious recipes of our area .. plunging fully into a family atmosphere and into a location of rare beauty.

Our group of twelve had an awesome day at the Montese Cooking Experience and we all agreed this was the highlight of a wonderful trip to Tuscany! Chef Mauro was fun, informative and the end result was amazing! We picked vegetables, drank wine, and made bread, but the ravioli and pasta ragu di carne was over the top! We all highly recommend this fantastic experience!
