Cooking courses

It is our intention to offer our guests not just Umbria with its enormous richness of countryside, art history and culture, but exactly because this is a land which stimulates and inspires, we want to help them to discover or rediscover their capacity, curiousity, and appreciation to enjoy and partake. All this through activities which, once taken up as part of a normal daily routine, can be maintained. For lovers of Italian food cooking and for who wants to fulfil a voyage through typical Umbrian flavours and not only that, we propose, in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, cooking courses to learn to invent and realise one or more menus choosing the ingredients and the accompanying wines with care ...
