A True Italian Experience

As hoards of tourists flock to Italy, much of the real beauty and culture that originally drew them there becomes lost.  Much of Tuscany and Umbria have turned into giant tourist traps.  But Soriano nel Cimino is still true.  It is one of the few places in the Tuscany, Umbria and Rome area that has been able to maintain everything that makes Central Italy so special.  Soriano boasts amazing restaurants and pizzerias, adorabble caffes, and stunning postcard-perfect scenery. It embodies that vision you have when you close your eyes and think of a Tuscan village... only here it is still unspoiled by mass tourism.

All-Inclusive Cookng & Culinary Vacations

In Italy, life is all about food, family and friends, so that is what we are all about. Join us on one of our popular small-group weeks in which we bring you a balance of cooking classes, culinary outings, and excursions to major sighteeing destinations, as well as some of Italy's most wonderful hidden treasures. We'll get wrist-deep in dough and laugh together as we make homemade fettuccine, lasagna & gnocchi from scratch. We'll make our own limoncello, biscotti & gelato, and even country wood-fired pizza. When we are not cooking, our excursions take us to the most stunning Tuscan wineries, cheese factories & olive mills. We visit royalty in Umbria, the sights of Rome and Florence, plus so much more.
