Learn How To Make Pasta In Italy

 Feel like a local as an Italian chef welcomes you to a private loft, teaching you how to make pasta from scratch - while sampling wines and starters depending on the season. Then enjoy the meal you cooked on the rooftop terrace. With small groups of only 14 people or fewer (and a few glasses of wine) it's like a meal with friends than a traditional cooking class. The most fun, authentic and hands-on way to dine in Rome.

Puglia, Endless Beaches, Nature, Art, Heritage, Culinary Traditions

Week-ends in Salento, Itria Valley, a week-end of castles and cathedrals, a week-end of faith or bicycles and definitely include a Chef weekend! The perfect itinerary to savor new culinary experiences, get your "hands in dough" and immerse yourself in the Apulian culture!  Combine local wines, scenery, perfumes and the colors of Puglia.  Where Christmas and Apulian cuisine isn't limited to lunch on Dec. 25, the banquet begins on the day of the eve and continues for three days!
