About this tour
Cook alongside a home chef in Montepulciano, learning recipes from family archives whilst sitting down to a three-course meal together. Run by Cesarine, a network of 1000+ Italian home cooks across the country, this 2.5-hour session pairs hands-on cooking with proper eating—regional wines, coffee and water included.

- Watch and participate in show cooking demonstrations

What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and move into the kitchen to see how they approach a full three-course meal. Some prep may fall to you; mostly you'll observe technique, ask why they do things a certain way, and handle ingredients as they guide you through. The cooking unfolds over roughly two hours, then you sit down together to eat what you've made. Conversation happens naturally across the table. Expect practical tips, family stories about the dishes, and honest cooking—not restaurant plating or fuss.
Good to know
