All-inclsuive Italian Cooking Vacationsthrough Tuscany,
Umbria, & Rome with Culture Discovery Vacations!
 Imagine the most memorable vacation experience of a lifetime
as you join Michael and Paola’s family for a week of cooking, touring & wine tasting in one of the most breathtaking
settings in the world. Culture
Discovery’s vacations are all about family and the true Italian cultural experience. You will live among the locals,
shop in small food stores with the villagers, cook local recipes handed down for generations, and truly become part of the
fabric of small town Italian life... as you become a family guest in every way. Each vacation
boasts a wonderful balance between home-style Tuscan & Umbrian cooking classes in the stunning kitchen of our magnificent
18th century country villa, sightseeing excursions to popular destinations, such as Assisi, Orvieto, Tuscan Wine Country,
and Deruta… plus excursions to some of Central Italy’s most off-the-beaten-path hidden treasures. Each vacation also includes visits to some of Italy’s most prestigious and beautiful private wineries
where you will be granted private tours by the owners themselves, and even share a meal with their families. You will
visit cheese makers, local artisans, and even a small family-operated antique traditional olive oil mills that produces some
of the best extra virgin oil in the world. Part of the true family experience means that
you are never asked to pay for anything extra once you arrive. Each small-group cooking vacation is completely all-inclusive
from the moment you are picked up at the airport (just as family would) until the moment hugs are shared as you check in for
your flight back home. Website: Culture Discovery Italy Cooking Vacations

A Particular Vacation to Marche, Italy Cooking Courses, Activities and Excursions in one easy package
The
Country House Il Casato di Vasconi is immersed in the gentle hills of le Marche in the central region of Italy and stands
in a suburb called Vasconi, on the outskirts of Matelica between the valley of the River Esino of River Potenza and opposite
to the mountains Sibillini. The vacation course is called Vasconi Country Fayre
and it focuses upon the simple but tasty farmers’ cuisine prevalent during the 1st and 2nd world
wars when farming was the primary employer and people lived off the land. It is simple because the recipes
focus on the cooking techniques of open fires, oven and charcoal (electricity did not reach most farmhouses) and the full
natural flavours of ingredients of each dish cooked in simple old fashioned farmers ways – chemical fertilizers were
not used at that time only cow’s manure was used to augment the quantity produced. The owners of Vasconi Country Fayre also have a truffle farm and activity centre
for biking, trekking, horse riding and scrambling.

Organic Cooking Classes in Tuscany
Join us on a cooking week in a gorgeous
villa setting in Tuscany, between Siena and Florence. Local chefs will guide you through the preparation of simple but
delicious dishes and reveal some of their culinary secrets. We take you to visit local organic farms, see how they
make their honey, cheeses, wines and oil. We teach you how to use their fresh, seasonal produce in traditional Tuscan dishes,
both ”cucina povera” (inventive peasant food) and more "noble" dishes, including delicate desserts.
We have tours of the beautiful cities nearby: Florence, Siena and San Gimignano. Accommodation is in a spectacular
19th century Tuscan villa with pool with stunning view of the vineyards and olive grove in the valley below.

LA CULINARIA Seasonal cookery and wine
holidays for the culinarily adventurous in Le Marche, Italy
Experience the vast range of cuisine and viticulture available in Le
Marche, which changes as the seasons change. Taste the flavours of Italy fresh from the garden and the cheese-maker. Cook
with local products under expert guidance in a small group of appreciative gourmets.
La Culinaria has so much to offer. For spouses or partners not too
keen on learning to cook the delicious meals they will eat, there is a wealth of activities available, and indeed, cooking
is not compulsory for anyone, though relaxation is! Your time can be divided between swimming in the lake, walking in the
hills, horseriding, or absolutely nothing at all. Bring a book and soak up the mountain quiet. The beauty of Le Marche has
created a haven for artists who come from as far a field as New Zealand, America and Britain to stay and be inspired by the
tranquil, stunning views. Painting can be arranged as an extra or alternative activity, as can horseriding, mountain walking
and quad biking.
