A Cultural and Culinary Adventure:
Spring 2009

Welcome to AlfredoToursItaly! I am pleased to announce my latest tour information, news and events.

Cooking Classes & Tours of Tuscany

Hi, Just got back from a great 3 weeks in Italy setting up my cooking classes in a wonderful newly renovated villa in Tuscany called Villa Daniela Grossi. Classes are planned for Oct 10-17 and 17-24.

Our classes will take place in a beautifully renovated Villa/ Convento located about 10 kilometers from Lucca and 60 kilometers from Florence. Our hosts, Daniela & Narciso have returned the villa to its original 19th century décor before it became a Cappuccino Convento. They have taken the old monastic dormitory and divided it into 5 wonderful loft apartments which are being decorated by Antoniella, an artist from Florence. Wait to you see the formal dining room!

Check out this article about the villa (pdf) and learn more on my tours page.
