Easy Walk In The Countryside + Cooking Lesson and Dinner... Nature, Wine, Food And Fun !
Highlights
An experience full of nature and fun, spent among magnificent paths in the vineyards, floured hands, seasonal herbs, glasses of wine and the pleasure of consuming what has been cooked.
We move by van to to the hills of Lucca (about 20 minutes) where the tour will begin on dirt paths among vineyards, olive groves and small stretches of wood to feel the beautiful Tuscan countryside and and maybe find some spices that we could use in the cooking class.
The walking is about one hour with some ups and down. After the experience in nature our friendly chef will introduce us into her country house with a welcome drink and we will spend time having fun creating ravioli, tagliatelle, seasonal sauces to dress pasta and a dessert, between a sip of wine, a photo and a laugh, as in a party, waiting to consume the goodness created in the open space or in the garden (depending on the season) At the end, the van will take us to Lucca again.
