Experience the magic of Venice after your hands-on Italian cooking classes near Tuscany on Mt. Fumaiolo with this memorable 7 day culinary vacation. You’ll spend the first 4 days of your vacation cooking side-by-side with Chef Stefano in his historic mountain home — then travel to Venice for a privately guided 3 day stay where you’ll explore the real Venice most visitors never see.
Walk hidden neighborhoods, taste fresh seafood at the Rialto market, sip spritz by the canals, and shop authentic glassware and artisan goods. Together we can plan a boat ride for an unforgettable afternoon and discover the art, history, and quiet corners behind the postcard views.
This is a private, all-inclusive culinary vacation, designed around you.
Your vacation begins in the mountains with hands-on cooking classes and local market visits near Mt. Fumaiolo. From there, you’ll continue on to Venice for a private, guided stay where you’ll explore canals, quiet neighborhoods, local food traditions, and Venetian culture at a relaxed pace.
You’ll enjoy authentic meals, scenic evening walks, and curated experiences designed to help you see the true Venice — not just the tourist paths. A complete, detailed day-by-day itinerary will be customized around your interests and finalized based on seasonality and opening schedules.
Special note: If you need a different drop off destination, it can be arranged.
For the 4 days of your immersive cooking classes you’ll have exclusive access to Chef Stefano’s 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom historic stone house — completely private for you and your group. This 19th-century retreat features charming antiques, two fireplaces, a traditional stone oven, and a peaceful garden along the early waters of the Tevere (Tiber) River. It’s quiet, authentic, and the perfect place to unwind after a day of cooking and exploring.
In Venice you’ll stay in the city center in a charming boutique property — walking distance to bridges, markets, cafés, and canal views (no tourist buses, no chaos). It’s a true Venetian experience — intimate, walkable, and atmospheric.
This all-inclusive culinary vacation is available year-round, based on availability. Pricing is listed per person and includes accommodations, meals, wines, transportation, cooking classes and all guided touring.
Private: 2-6 persons
You can add 4 Days in Florence, Val d’Orcia (Montalcino, Pienza and Siena), Orvieto, Bologna, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast — each with private transportation and guided tours arranged for you.
