On the first evening, dinner will be a special tasting menu of five courses, prepared for the occasion by our head chef Sara. Taking advantage of our privileged position surrounded by some of Tuscany’s finest winemaking estates, each course will be accompanied by a different local wine — carefully chosen to enhance the meal’s flavors. 

Following dinner enjoy a nightcap in our library and then drift asleep to the crackling of the fire, courtesy of your room’s wood-burning fireplace. After a hearty and delicious breakfast, one of our chefs will teach you some of our signature recipes — Tuscan classics made with the best local ingredients. Sample your hard-work over lunch — a great moment to enjoy your new skills and to plan the meals that you will serve once home, to the delight of your friends. 

As the golden light before evening baths the estate in a warm glow, stroll aimlessly through our olive groves, after which a tasting will be prepared back in our winter garden to learn to distinguish the scents, nuances, and aromatic notes of our acclaimed Organic Extra Virgin EGP Olive Oil. 

The following day will begin with a visit to our beloved shepherd to learn the intricacies of cheese making and participate in this time-honored ritual, before tasting the various cheeses of his production over lunch. 

In the afternoon, you will discover the fascinating world of honey. Our expert beekeeper will guide you through a tasting of the several delicious varieties of honey produced on and around the estate and, weather permitting, a visit to our hives to see action. 

When the moment arrives to depart it will be made all the better for the skills that have been learned and the special parting gift that we will prepare to savor the magic of Le Lappe on your journey home.
