Let one of our Nonnas teach you the secrets of Tuscan cooking.  Pick your menu and recipes to personalize your class. We will share recipes that have been handed down for generations–all made with fresh, local ingredients.

Olive Oil Class & Tasting

Take a class in Olive Oil.  Not just a tasting, but a class to teach you about olive oil production and how to know olive oil is “real.”  Lead by our local olive oil expert.  At the end, you can choose to have our LaChiusa olive oil shipped to your home.

Pizza Class

Become a Pizzaiolo.  Make pizza dough from scratch and personalize your pizza with fresh, local ingredients from our garden and prepare yourself for a “pizza party!”  Learn to make our signature sweet dessert pizza.  All in our 500 year-old brick oven.  

Truffle Hunting

Hunt for these culinary gems with our private truffle hunter and his skillful pups in the “backyard” of La Chiusa. See how the dogs are trained to find truffles, watch them dig and work as a team.  After, enjoy a delicious meal of truffle pasta and wine.

Like a scene from a movie you will enjoy a traditional Italian lunch, served family style, set among our 300-year-old olive trees. Tuscan bruschetta, local cheese and meats, fresh baked breads, traditional bowls of pasta to share, salad, olives & Tuscan Cantucci.
