October 10th, 2026: Breakfast and a leisurely morning. Around midday, we will stroll either to the garden or nearby market to gather ingredients for our full Tuscan cooking workshop. The afternoon will be spent enjoying a long lunch with the food that you prepared, paired with wine. There will also be an optional olive oil tasting for those interested, or the chance to rest by the pool for those wishing to relax. We will have a light dinner in the evening, and go for a sunset vineyard stroll.

October 11th, 2026: Breakfast. Then we travel to Florence! (~1 hour drive). Once arriving, we will have a guided visit to the Mercato Centrale with tastings.
