This week in Tuscany was an amazing experience. The cooking classes are top notch. The teaching. The staff. The food. The wine. They were very knowledgeable and so passionate about fresh organic food … from where it comes from, to the cooking kitchen , to your plate on the back patio of the villa —-over looking the stunning vineyards and farmlands of Tuscany .

We spent four weeks in Italy in May this year and of all the adventurous, amazing and beautiful things we experienced, Organic Tuscany was our favourite! The Villa, the scenery and the food were incredible and the cooking classes using the freshest local herbs, veg, meat, olive oil and wine was inspiring! We cherish getting to know all the other guests and Serenella and Arturo who made it all the more special😀

What a fabulous experience we had attending the Organic Tuscany Cooking Classes. Sere couldn't have been more accommodating, knowledgeable, attentive and fun to be around. The other guests were like family. Arturo gave a great class on Olive oils and another on wines which were very informative. Preparing your own meal as a group was a blast. I highly recommend you book an Organic Tuscany Cooking Class Adventure, you wont be disappointed.

From beginning to end, this was a vacation experience I will cherish forever! It will be memorable for its venue and views over peaceful, glowing farmlands descriptive of a Tuscany I had previously only ever experienced in movies! It will be memorable for the warmth, friendliness, caring and professionalism of its hosts, Serenella and Arturo who had us laughing, sharing and learning from the time we arrived until we left a week later. We were welcomed into the pretty pink traditional villa as if we were family – and as we got to know the rest of our group, that is how it felt – like family. Serenella consistently went above and beyond for her guests in her caring, and always entertaining style – she certainly is a special someone!The itinerary was thoughtful, varied and provided an opportunity to learn and experience Italy in a very personalized and meaningful manner. As for the cooking classes…they were fantastic! My goodness, such fabulous fresh, local plump, colourful produce expertly whipped up into gastronomic pleasures, only possible with the help and expertise of Serenella, Arturo and Manuella. The highlight at the completion of each cooking class, was sitting around a beautifully set outdoor table, gazing at the (aforementioned) views with our newfound friends, savouring quality local wines and enjoying our own culinary efforts and each other’s company and stories. I think we would all agree that the secret ingredient was the fun and laughter that accompanied every recipe.

Our stay at Organic Tuscany was one of our best holidays ever! The welcome was very warm and everyone at the villa was fun and knowledgeable and passionate about their traditions and the quality of the food. The villa itself is the perfect rustic country retreat, like waking up in an old Italian movie. The accommodations are simple but comfortable. The villa is ideally located to explore nearby Florence or Siena or the many smaller towns with charming medieval cores. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience in so many ways. If you are looking for a 5 star resort with room service and a few cooking demonstrations, Organic Tuscany is not the place for you. If you want a week of great hands on cooking lessons in a warm, inclusive atmosphere, sign up immediately. Led by the very talented Serenella, the staff genuinely wants their guests to embrace the culture, food, wine and the people of Tuscany. It doesn’t hurt that it all takes place in a gorgeous countryside setting. Within 24 hours of our arrival, our class of 10 were made to feel like part of a family, working, dining, drinking and laughing together. As we pulled away from the villa at the end of the week, I found myself feeling jealous of the incoming group and what they were getting ready to experience. I am already plotting our return!

Our week at Organic Tuscany was all we had hoped for, and more. The villa is beautiful and the setting spectacular. More importantly Serenela, Arturo and the entire team were a delight. The cooking classes were excellent-well executed and such great food. The additional events during the week were a treat. We highly recommend a week at Organic Tuscany!!

An amazing culinary experience. The cooking classes exceeded all of my expectations. First of all, the location itself is absolutely beautiful and worth the visit alone. Our hosts, Serenella and Arturo, were phenomenal - warm, patient, and great teachers who kept the energy high. The class was perfectly paced, and they made sure everyone was able to participate and get their hands dirty. Every single dish we prepared was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Thank you, Serenella, Arturo and the entire team for a wonderful memory. The entire week was fabulous.

Awesome week in Tuscany! It is rare when a vacation exceeds the expectations promised by the host and our time at ‘Organic Tuscany’ DID EXCEED expectations. Prior to our arrival Riccardo’s thoughtful information and tips made our journey easier. From the moment we arrived, we experienced a week of cooking ‘Tuscan Style’ intertwined with fun, relaxation and comfort. Great food and wine along with a staff that not only shared their expertise but had the ability to make us all feel like family. Organic Tuscany also scheduled several excursions for us with their exclusive, knowledgeable guides. The week’s agenda was well organized and allowed sufficient time to explore on our own. The villa accommodations were comfortable along with spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape. When we got home friends and family asked us on a scale of 1-10 how we would rate our time with ‘Organic Tuscany’? Our reply, without hesitation, was a 12!

An Italian Experience worth remembering. Organic Tuscany was fantastic! I knew nothing about Italian cooking, so was a bit apprehensive at first. The Organic Tuscany Staff were great. They made me feel comfortable. They were friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience perfect. I now cook Italian food with confidence, and fondly remember the wine and olive oil trips. I would highly recommend this experience. Noel Pepin

Best birthday gift ever!!!!! It was the real deal. Loved my time there and learned so many secrets to delicious Italian cuisine, wine and olive oil! Serenella, Artruro and the entire team are knowledgeable, friendly and truly strive to ensure your time there is amazing.
There was a perfect mix of in the kitchen learning and on the road excursions.
Loved it! I would highly recommend it!

Amazing vacation! My husband, daughters, and their boyfriends recently had the unforgettable pleasure of attending the Organic Tuscany Cooking School, and it was truly a trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, we knew we'd found something special.
The accommodations were spectacular—the villa was simply beautiful, offering a quintessential Tuscan experience. Waking up to the amazing views was a daily highlight, and the setting alone was incredibly relaxing.
The heart of the experience, of course, was the cooking, and we learned a tremendous amount. Serenella and Arturo are truly wonderful chefs and exceptional teachers. They created a warm, hands-on, and fun learning environment, guiding us through authentic Italian recipes and techniques.
What made this school stand out was its flawless balance. It was the perfect mix of intensive cooking classes, fascinating excursions to learn about the culture, olive oil, and wine of the region, and sightseeing in charming Tuscan towns. They also ensured we had plenty of time to relax and simply enjoy the stunning surroundings and each other's company.
For anyone looking for an immersive, enriching, and delicious Tuscan experience we highly recommend Organic Tuscany Cooking School! We hope to go back someday!

AMAZING! I was at the Organic Tuscany Cooking Class September 2024. It was an amazing experience from the Villa we all stayed in to the fantastic meals we prepared. The supporting staff was wonderful. The experience was more than cooking-we experienced olive oil tasting, cheese tasting, wine tasting and tours of the beautiful country!
The host went over and above the call of duty- my rental car broke down enroute to the Villa (8:30 pm on a dark narrow winding road), Riccardo came to my rescue, assisted with the tow truck and translated my frustration to the rental company!
I have been bragging about my experiences since my return and recommending this class to all my friends.
P.s., I attended the class solo and met new friends!
