Christmas in Tuscany: 4-Course Dinner Event | Sat Dec 21

About this experience

We love cooking classes and have hosted a ton of them in 2024, but for our year-end holiday event we invite you to simply come, relax and enjoy the flavours of a traditional holiday meal, prepared by our team! 

During this multi-course dinner event, guests will be seated together at a long harvest table. Gaia Massai will introduce each of the delicious dishes she has selected for the meal, explaining how they're made and their significance during the holiday season. 

She'll also talk about the Christmas traditions she grew up with in rural Tuscany, and share stories of celebrating the season on her family farm in San Miniato, Pisa.
