Cooking classes—If you love to cook, there are many opportunities to sharpen your skills! We can arrange classes with professional chefs, either in a school or in a restaurant setting. Or if you prefer, we can arrange for you to cook a more home-style meal with a “contadina” in a countryside farmhouse! You can cook for one afternoon or for as many days of your trip as you would like. Bring your friends or join a small group. Create your own menus, develop your own specialties! We offer completely flexible opportunities designed just for you.

Hands-on crafts with a Master Artisan—Great for kids and adults! Why not try your had at paper making and leather crafting. Spend a morning (or more!) with a Tuscan master who will show you the secrets of his trade. Let your creative energies find their voice through an Old World piece of artistry!

Marbleized paper and leather accessories—Enrico Giannini will introduce you to the art of marbleizing paper and binding your own diary or photo album. Make a leather picture frame or learn to gild leather. Enrico, a fifth generation paper and leather craftsman, has created pieces for Pope John II and Mikhail Gorbachev, and has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show.

Painting Ceramics—Learn to paint ceramics from one of the best artists in Tuscany. Get a feel for painting all different kinds of patterns, from renaissance geometrics to flowers to abstract. Everything will be fired for you and ready to take home. For ceramics lovers, this opportunity should not be missed!

Sports—Hiking, fly fishing, hot air ballooning, horseback riding, golf... Just ask, if you want to do it we will try to make it happen. If you just want to work off lunch or make your sport a central part of your trip, we can do it. Our itineraries are made for you.  |  Traveler Resources
