Spend a morning cooking beside a Michelin-trained chef in a grand private villa kitchen, then sit down to a leisurely multi-course lunch you have created, paired with estate wines. The ultimate expression of dolce vita luxury.
What to expect
The morning begins at the local market, where your chef selects the day's ingredients with practiced authority. In the villa's sun-lit kitchen, you learn to prepare three or four regional dishes — fresh pasta, a slow-braised ragù, hand-crafted dolci. The meal is served in the villa garden or on a terrace with vineyard views, with estate wine and limoncello to close. The chef stays at table to answer every question.
Good to know
Book at least 2 weeks ahead; private villa slots fill quickly in high season. Dietary requirements are fully accommodated with advance notice. Allow 5 hours total and plan your port return accordingly.
