Good experience - While in Tuscany one of our excursions we took a cooking class. Very enjoyable , great food, I highly recommend. Katia was our hostess, most of us were from the USA and she spoke many languages to make it comfortable to us all. We picked up many tips and brought home some wonderful recipes.

A memorable lesson! - Wonderful personalized experience. Excellent tuition that explained the basic philosophy of Tuscan cooking. This was paired with hands on instruction that resulted in a delicious and authentic meal. The host was engaging. The location exuded Tuscan charm. I would strongly recommend this experience for anyone who is interested in Tuscan cooking. Or even if they just fancy a wonderful meal.

Il Vicario should not be missed! - Fulvio & Katia are wonderful! Loved the cooking class and olive oil tasting. Katia is so knowledgeable and informative. The food was delicious! The olive oil amazing! Purchased bottles and had them shipped. Loved talking to Fulvio who has a wealth of knowledge also. The entire experience was wonderful and hope to visit them again.

Great cooking class, olive oil and Tuscan hospitality. - Fulvio and Katia are wonderful hosts and teachers. We spent five nights staying at Il Vicario and had a lovely class with them. Using Il Vicario as a base, we explored several of the walled cities and beautiful countryside. We made two kinds of pasta and several sauces as well as a delicious dessert. Katia's olive oil is really special, and we ordered some to have shipped to us after the fall harvest is finished and the oil is pressed. They made us feel so welcome, and we enjoyed several dinners that Fulvio made for us. A great introduction to Tuscan cooking and hospitality.

Tuscan Cooking Class - A Canadian Family's Italian Highlight - We can't say enough good things about our experience at this cooking class. Fulvio, the chef, included all of us in the food preparation and that included our 7 year twin boys, a teenager and 5 adults. He made it fun...with easy-to-follow instructions. He was always mindful of safety with the children. The lunch was delicious with perfect wine pairings. He even included a birthday The class also included a cook book with all his recipes for that day plus others. It was a very pleasant day in the Tuscan countryside.

Authentic, Cordial, Informative, and Instructive - Such welcoming and accommodating hosts, in a lovely Tuscan setting, teaching us to prepare and enjoy a variety of dishes. The location was an easy 7 minute drive from San Gimignano, the food and wines were delicious, and the company (8 guests total) convivial. A wonderful end to our time in Tuscany!

Such a fun cooking class for our honeymoon! - We had such a wonderful time cooking with Fulvio and Katia. My husband and I were so glad we booked this experience as we learned so much about cooking Tuscan pasta. We even found a new love for cannelloni beans. Highly recommend this experience!
