From the moment we arrived until the moment we left (4 1/2 hours later!), Irma, our Cesarina, and Luigi, her husband, made us feel like treasured guests in their home. With Giovana, a family friend, to translate, they greeted us with Prosecco and a table full of delicious treats, from fresh melons wrapped in prosciutto to cheeses and olives. (And their dining table looked like something out of a Martha Stewart Tuscan dream!) Then it was off to the kitchen to learn to make three different types of handmade pasta with two different kinds of fillings (one with spinach and ricotta and one with sausage) garnished with tempura style sage leaves (delicious!) and for dessert, home made tiramisu! Irma quickly put us all to work, while Luigi plied us with Aperol aperitivos to keep our strength up. From whisking egg whites, kneading pasta dough, chopping spinach, frying sage leaves and stirring the sauce, Irma was like a symphony conductor taking us through the process of making a true Italian meal. And finally, it was time to taste the fruits of our labors. For this, Irma and Luigi had set up another beautiful table outside on the patio with several types of local wines to complement our meal. And the food was all fabulous! Delicate pasta that melted in our mouths and tiramisu that was so delightful, who cared about the calories! And one of the best parts about this meal was learning more about Irma and Luigi. At 76 and 80 (you would never in a million years guess their ages!), they simply love to entertain, and hosting cooking classes gives them the opportunity to do just that. They truly love meeting new friends and it shows. Together we ate and drank to our hearts content and laughed a lot. It was a most marvelous magical day and we hated to leave. The next time we are in Vicenza, we will book this tour again!!!The people were wonderful and welcoming! They customized our experience to what we would like. There was translator available on site. Site was beautiful and calming. Food and wine were delicious. Amazing experience!

We had the most wonderful day with Irma! She and her husband Luigi were so kind and welcoming. They have a beautiful home they opened up to us. We got to try some of her homemade sambuco and she shared many of her delicious recipes with us. We made bigoli, ravioli, gnocchi and Irma even taught us how to make tortellini. This was one of our favorite days of our two week trip! Irma and Luigi shared stories of their family, and gave us suggestions on places to visit. We hope to be back and have dinner with them again someday!Beautifully prepared and presented food and wine when I arrived, genuine interest in my back story, warm and welcoming.
