Meet Alina at Fontanaro Organic Farm near Paciano for coffee, olive-oil and wine tasting, hands-on pasta making, tiramisu, and a shared lunch. The three-hour class welcomes adults and children, with gluten-free options available by advance request.

“This was as one of the best experiences on my trip to Italy! Alina, the wonderful chef, was warm, fun and so welcoming. Just one of the loveliest people I met on my trip. Her daughter, Stella, is a beautiful little sweetheart. And the food was fantastic! I come from a culinary background and still learned so much. Probably the best meal I had in Italy. And that says a lot. The olive oil they produce on their farm is amazing. I bought 4 bottles to bring home and I put it on everything. It's a quality and flavor that prominently stands out. Thank you Alina for the wonderful experience!”
