Small Group Cooking Tours through Italy (Umbria and Tuscany)

Let's Cook in Umbria offers unique package itineraries for small groups from 2 up to 10 persons in Central Italy.  Our tours include visits to well-known cities in Umbria and Tuscany such as Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, Spoleto, Norcia, Siena, Cortona, Siena, Montalcino e Arezzo but also to many less frequented towns and villages off the usual tourist itinerary.
In each tour there will be time for a culinary experience with wonderful cooking lesson in the farm!

You will have accomodation in the apartments of the farmhouse "La volpe e l'uva". It is in the beautiful heart of the Umbria valley, sourronded by 10 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees. Six independent apartments have been restored around the ancient stone house, which dates back to the 17th century. It is only 4km far from the historic centre of Perugia and offers a suggestive view of the Umbrian hills.

We can  customize our scheduled tours for couples and small groups to run at any time during the year. Feel free to contact us if you would like more information about any of our tours or if need help in organizing your trip to Umbria.
