A NOTE ABOUT DRIVING TIMES
Driving times vary quite a bit, depending on which location you choose. See each location’s description for driving times.


SUMMARY

Learn about the Tuscan culinary tradition passed on from generation to generation. The essence of cooking in Italy has always been “Kilometer Zero” — cooking with what the land gives us, season by season. Using fresh, local ingredients you’ll prepare a meal and then (the best part) you’ll sit down to eat it!

Whether you prefer the countryside or the cosmopolitan, we’ve got you covered! Choose from a classic Tuscan farmhouse in San Gimignano or an elegant villa in the heart of Lucca.
 

OUTSIDE SAN GIMIGNANO
at Podere La Marronaia winery

    The cooking and eating lasts about 3 hours total. A sampling of local cured meats and cheeses accompanies the meal, in addition to a guided tasting of the estate’s wines and olive oil.
    Driving time from Livorno is about 90 minutes.

Podere La Marronaia is located in the rolling Tuscan countryside outside of San Gimignano. After lunch (assuming you don’t dawdle too long over the food and wine) you’ll have time to visit San Gimignano and be enchanted by its Medieval towers and glorious views. (Shoppers will perhaps be more enchanted by the amazing boutiques.)

Lucca - the massive ancient wall, now a greenspace for pedestrians
IN LUCCA
at the International Academy of Italian Cuisine

    The lesson and lunch with wine lasts about 3 hours.

    This location is ideal for those who don’t want to spend a lot of time driving. Lucca, besides being an extremely beautiful Renaissance city to compare with Florence, is only a 40 minute drive from Livorno.

The lesson takes place at a professional cooking school housed in an elegant villa right in the town centre, so after lunch you’ll be able to walk out the door and have Lucca at your feet.
