Kitchen and Culture Week
Introducing the Kitchen and Culture Week in a Luxury Villa in Tuscany. You are welcome to be our guest on this unique experience where food, leisure and new corners of the Tuscany countryside are king.
Our kitchen and culture week is a special program for families and friends that combines cooking lessons with selected tours in Tuscany.
Thanks to the collaboration of top chefs, Tuscan Life, can organise cooking lessons in which you can learn in a fun way to be deft and creative in the kitchen.
The possibilities are varied and flexible and can be adapted for all requirements, from typical local dishes of the Lucca area to refined specialities of Italian cuisine.
All of this is possible thanks to our professional kitchen, which has been planned and fitted out to satisfy even the most discerning guests.
Kitchen and Culture week is an alternative program for those who would like to combine the cultural aspect of the atypical Tuscany cities and their culinary world.
It is designed to combine the concept Town-Food-Culture.
