Creative Cooking Holiday in Italy

Creative  holidays can suggest many different things, but, the very essence of our creative  holidays should be an original and exciting experience shared with a group of compatible people. Our creative holiday its an opportunity to learn the amazing art of traditional Italian cooking in  old noble estate, set in a wonderful and peaceful location in the hills at the border of Tuscany, Latium and Umbria regions some 120 km north of Rome and 150 km south of  Florence.

Our creative holidays at the Santa Cristina Castle will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditional culture and lifestyle and learn to prepare real Italian dishes in a pleasant  and informal environment.

The creative cookery course at Santa Cristina Castle is a real hands-on learning the basics Italian cooking techniques to make impressive 4 courses menu, from the home made pasta to traditional desserts and everything in between.

During your creative cookery course at the Castle you will learn about the ingredients and the traditions around the dishes as well as food presentation and by the help of our sommelier you will find the wines that have the right fragrance and smell for our dishes.
