Cooking and fine food are an integral part of Italian culture and our cuisine is world renowned for its use of simple but delicious ingredients. For many students, one of the highlights of their stay here is the opportunity to take a cooking class with trained chef, Signora Lalla who will teach you how to make tasty, traditional Tuscan dishes in her cucina. After the class, you get to try your dishes over a glass of wine and take the recipe with you to impress friends and family when you get home!
Join us on a trip to the beautiful Podere di Pomaio, a local winery that produces delicious organic wines, for a tour of the vineyard and cellar before enjoying a special wine tasting with owners, brothers Jacopo and Marco Rossi. If you are tempted to buy some wine to enjoy later, you can take advantage of a special discount. We also organise olive oil tastings at Podere di Pomaiao (www.pomaio.it)
I have just completed a very valuable 2 weeks at the Cultura Italiana School in Arezzo. The combination of intensive classes, a course of Renaissance Art and a private lessons provided a real boost to my learning of the italian language. The intensive course deepened my knowledge of grammar, the pritate lessons provided an excellent opportunity to work on my weakness - thank you Laura - and the study of Renaissance Art was a sheer delight. Samantha was a very professional, knowledgeable, excellent teacher and guide. A very worthwhile experience in a beautiful city.
