Our group with a variety of cooking skills (advanced to beginner) all had a great afternoon with Marcella. We made homemade pichi and tagliatelle noodles with two different sauces. We started with making contucci and that was a lovely end to our lunch. Fun afternoon and a special thanks to Marcella for the hospitality and conversation. We loved your husband's wine :)

We were obviously second class. We arrived to a construction site and it just went downhill. While I give credit for flexibility in scheduling, we were not a priority. Multiple phone calls took precedence. Further, recipes were not provided. Overall an underwhelming experience.

Nadia was a great host. Allessandro and Barbara made the day exceptional at our winery tours and tastings. Barbara's lunvh was delicious, including the treat of preserves made ny her mother

We started with making a crostata using a plum homemade jam of our choice. Then we learned to make a vegan pasta using chestnut flour and olive oil. Of course we learned how to make a traditional pasta using semolina flour. Both were so fun to make and eat. Marcella also taught us how to make two types of sauces using fresh tomatoes and other veggies. This was an excellent Italian activity. Grazie mille Marcella! Aloha, from Hawaii ....

Marcella and her family were so wonderfully welcoming and friendly! We made an authentic crostatta, a chestnut flour pasta and a tagliatelli pasta dish - all from scratch!! Delicioso!!! The class was held at a beautiful farm in Montelcino - the entire experience was cultural, informative and simply wonderful!!

Had a wonderful evening with Marcella and her family, we learnt so much about the important ways of cooking and preparing four Italian foods. Thank you Marcella for making us feel so welcome in your beautiful home. Michael and Veronica

The experience was wonderful! We made some amazing food with some expert help and learned a lot. The view from the house was amazing and it was a beautiful place to enjoy lunch at the end. Our hosts were wonderful!

Nadia was fantastic and chose the best wineries for the three of us in our group to visit. We had private tours and tastings at 3 out of the 4 wineries we went to. She is very knowledgeable of the Montalcino area and of the wineries. Loved visiting the small local vineyards. Definitely a highlight of our trip! Can’t wait to receive the wine Nadia shipped for us!

We had a wonderful day on our wine tour with Nadia. We wanted to experience a variety of the wine Italy has to offer so we went to both Montepulciano and Monticchiello wineries, and we stopped for a nice lunch along the way. Nadia is very knowledgeable about the wines in this region. And she shipped the wine we collected throughout the day back home for us! If I were to change anything, I may instead do two half day wine tours…8-9 of wine is a lot!

A magic experience I am amazed about this experience, therefore I recommend it . I live in Siena since two décades, and I know the unique simplicity of Montalcino. A successful story that changed the life of thousands of people, thanks to the creativity of two farmers: Colombini and Biondi Santi.

Our day began with a tour of a beautiful Brunello winery. We learned about the grapes then had an amazing tasting of wines. From there we went to a different Brunello winery where we had a luscious lunch paired with wines. Our next stop was at a saffron grower where we tasted saffron in many forms. At the end of the day we were sated and content. I highly recommend. Nadia our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. She tried to show us a unique day and succeeded

We had an incomparable day of tasting Brunello wines, eating an incredible meal paired with wines and a rare tasting of saffron products. Our guide, Nadia, was fun and knowledgeable. She was willing to make our experience the best possible by helping us explore this part of Tuscany. It was a unique day where we walked away sated and happy.

This is an impressive tour of the famous sangiovese wineries of Tuscany.The guides were knowledgeable about all significant aspects of wine-making that contribute to the quality of the wine: climate, soil composition, harvesting, fermentation, bottling, and aging. Three to four wines are offered for tasting at each winery, and lunches are served. Highly recommended.

We had a very good time and learned so much about the wonderful Brunello wines. We went on a tour to 3 locations starting with Camigliano. This small village has only 20 residents. The guide here talks very fast so did not understand her completely, but it was a pleasant tasting. The second stop was Piombaia. The guide here was very good as well as patient! The wines and olive oil here were very good. Last was an enoteca not sure of the name of the place or winery. We had lunch here which was very good on the deck overlooking a valley. Nadia was always helpful and pleasant. We had hopped to visit the town of Montalcino but it was raining pretty hard, so she contacted her father who lent us an umbrella for a short walk in town.

We joined a tour which included two wineries and dinner. The first winery was at a medieval castle with incredible views. The girl giving the tour was friendly and knowledgeable and the wine amazing. Then we were off to a smaller winery at a farmhouse where we also had dinner. This was a different experience as this was a smaller more traditional cellar, "grandpa's cellar" as Nadia our tour guide called it. The dinner was great too, and I will remember the beef stew for a long while. We were also treated to a small singing performance by the owner in which our tour guide and more people joined in! It felt like we were joining a private party. The night ended at an enoteca just outside Montalcino which Nadia recommended for the live music. We arrived late for the event but had a quick drink nonetheless because the place was really nice. So overall, great wine, great food, great views, great people, great fun!
