COOKING CLASSES AND WINERY TOUR AT VILLA LE CORTI
Join me in the absolutely stunning setting of Principe Corsini's "Villa Le Corti", in the heart of the Chianti area. This estate has been the home for the Corsini family since 1363, it extends to 250 hectares of which 50 are planted with vineyards and 73 are dedicated to olive groves.
The classes will be held in the historical kitchen, think Tuscany meets Downton Abby, the fire will be crackling and the old cast iron pots will be stewing you back in time a few centuries.
Upon arrival you will be offered a glass of Prosecco and introduced to the property with a tour of the winery and its historical cellars... then you will join me and my team in the kitchen to prep and cook a full meal together.
