The location (Castello Tricerchi) is easy to find, about 15 min. North of Montalcino on the main road to Siena. First we were shown the wine cellar and given some information on the crafting of Brunello wine, which is made only in the Montalcino area. There is a small outbuilding on the grounds which has been made into a modern, clean, kitchen/cooking area. It looks just like the picture - you prepare the meal looking out through the picture window onto the beautiful valley. There were only 5 of us that day: 3 in my family and another couple. Chef Giacomo from Chef Alexandra's team was a lot of fun! We began with some Prosecco, and he kept it flowing throughout the class. His instructions are clear (he speaks excellent English), and he is very patient. We made pasta, a meat ragu sauce, a beef/wine dish, and tiramisu. Then Giacomo finished the cooking and we ate our creations on the outside terrace attached to the building, with that same beautiful view. Along with lunch, we tasted 3 of the red wines that are produced here at Castello Tricerchi. My favorite was the Brunello and, yes, I had some shipped home! My family agreed that it was a highlight of our time in Tuscany.

What an absolutely amazing experience. It was just me and my girlfriend. The food was amazing, and they were very accommodating for two who aren't very skilled in an Italian kitchen. We stayed in Siena, and they took care of booking all of our travel to and from. Very easy and very highly recommended!

Actually my favorite thing I did in Italy, weather was perfect, staff was lovely and it was by far the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life and I made it. Who would have thought! Highly recommend!
