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've studied five languages and I've worked on my italian with 8 teachers over the years. The teachers I had with Cultura Italiana Arezzo were easily 2 of the best: supportive, creative, positive, interactive.
Arezzo is a lovely town and near ideal for Italian immersion and people were generally very patient with my learner - level speaking.
Massive props to Gianmarco (who handled a group class extraordinarily well, and left all the students feeling like they're improving) to Sara (who in a 1-1 class answered my endless questions to patch up my grammar and vocab) and to Lalla (who tought me a simple and effective tick to stop tearing dough)!
I hope to come back soon!
