Cooking Holiday in Italy
Let's cook in Umbria - Italy:
Discover the food, wine, and culture of this wonderful italian region, rivaling Tuscany for its natural beauty and richness, known as the "green heart" of Italy. The country farm "la volpe e l'uva" is in the heart of Umbria, very near to Tuscany. Just north of Perugia close to Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, Siena and Cortona. The farm is surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, olive trees and Etruscan and Medieval history.
Learn to cook authentic Italian dishes in an informal and friendly environment where you will learn the passion of the Italian kitchen and have fun doing it. All cooking classes are hands-on, use the freshest of ingredients and sample the olive oil and wine produced directly on the grounds of the Agriturismo la volpe e l'uva in abundance! We will teach you to make splendid Italian four course lunches/dinners covering all the basic Italian cooking techniques. The cooking teacher is native Umbria and speak English so understanding won't be a problem.
