Outstanding Vacation with Culture Discovery Vacations in Chianti

Full Review

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on a culture discovery weeklong cooking class in Chianti. We were apprehensive because we had traveled in Europe many times my ourselves. We wanted to experiment with a small group to see if we would enjoy that type of vacation. It was much better than we had planned or expected.

Our group was small and everything was tailored to our needs. We stayed in a small medieval village in the middle of Chianti for the week. We had cooking classes at the lovely Palazzo Leopoldo and wine tastings in the countryside. We cooked with families in the Tuscan hills and toured a real goat farm that produces the most luscious cashmere. Most importantly, we had fun and the other guests became friends. Paulo, our driver, Danielle, our host and Charlotte, our tour guide couldn't have done more to make our week enjoyable. They became friends as well. 

We would recommend culture discovery vacations without hesitation and plan to join them on a trip to Sicily in the future.
