The popular Cook Like a Tuscan tours are back, for the fourth year. Two special weeklong tours have been organized for those craving a food enthusiast vacation in Italy.

Join author/sommelier, Viktorija Todorovska and Peggi Clauhs of Onward Travel, plus a small group of travel, food, and fun loving folks to make memories in Tuscany:

  • October 15—22, 2022
  • October 22—29, 2022 

During Cook Like a Tuscan, our small group will stay at a beautiful stone villa in Panzano in Chianti. Grapevines and pomegranate trees come up almost to the doorstep and the charming town is a short walk away.

Explore regional Tuscan cooking and expand your culinary repertoire with four hands-on in-depth cooking courses. We’ve selected four outstanding chefs to guide us through the hands-on culinary program.

We’ll visit Tuscany in autumn, the perfect time to enjoy deep red wines and bright green olive oil fresh from the press. Time in the kitchen is complemented by epicurean field trips, visits to medieval towns and gothic Siena, and opportunities to walk amongst the vines and views. 

From our base in the heart of Chianti wine country, we’ll travel throughout the region and enjoy the local charms. Join The Chopping Block’s travel and food loving community for a once-in-a-lifetime culinary immersion in Tuscany. 

Cook Like a Tuscan is perfect for any traveler who wants to spend time in Tuscan kitchens. You do not need culinary experience and you’ll leave with a great arsenal of Italian recipes. Couples, groups of friends, and solo travelers welcome. This tour is limited to 12 travelers only. Please contact Molly at Onward Travel at molly@onwardtravel.co or 267-825-5880.
