I stayed in a couple of rooms at Satriano and was extremely satisfied. The area has a lovely swimming pool with a great view over the vineyards and into the setting sun. In the summer months it really is quite beautiful. Apart from the fully furnished rooms and apartments (the Italians take home cooking very seriously!) there are also a... More

My husband learned about this 1/2 day cooking class a few days before we left for Italy, and we and our friends thought it sounded like fun. We were lucky enough to find a day that we could go during our short time in the Montefalco area. There were six of us (three couples), and we absolutely loved our class... More

This was fabulous - one of the highlights of our 14 day trip in Italy. Six of us participated in the 4-hour cooking class/lunch/winery tour. The cooking was hands-on with a wonderful, and patient, instructor and her assistant. We chopped, diced, kneaded, stirred, blended, etc. Then we ate what we had just learned to cook - with wine with each... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Wendy Aulsebrook and Teresa in the "Cucina in Cantina" cooking school! Her warm, friendly personality meant the entire group felt completely welcome and at ease. I was amazed at her in-depth knowledge of Umbrian cuisine and cooking in general, as well as her local and historical knowledge of the area. She taught us much... More

During a 13-day Wine and Food Tour of Italy, with a group of 16, we scheduled a cooking class with Wendy Aulsebrook. This was hands-down (and hands-on) the best day of the trip, at least for me, the organizer. Wendy is a very accomplished home economist, cook, teacher and organizer. Her order, team, personality, humor, and knowledge of Umbrian cuisine... More

My family and I just got back from a trip to Italy and our last stop was Umbria. My dad, brother, husband and I arranged to take an Italian cooking class at the Antonelli Winery without really knowing a lot about the place. The kitchen we had our class in was state-of-the-art, clean, BIG and right in the heart of... More

Not exactly strangers to the excellent wines at Antonelli, my sister Jill and I combined our wine buying with Wendy's superb cookery course. Both Wendy and Therese could not have been more helpful or encouraging and provided us with lots of fantastic recipes. As we are both enthusiastic cooks we were able to go home to Acquasparta and make red... More

The half-day cooking class by Wendy at Atonelli San Marco was one of best times we had in Umbria. My two nieces wanted to find a cooking class while visiting. I am not a cook so I was not going to accompany them. At the last minute I decided to tag along for the fun of it. Well, I would... More

I'm a bicyclist in Italy and I've visited a wide assortment of wineries and cooking classes throughout Italy. I have to say that, aside from Antonelli's grand wines, magnificent location and lovely ambiance, what puts it over the top for me is having a lunch (particularly combined with a cooking class) with Wendy. She's a great cook, true. But the... More
