Fattoria La Loggia
|
Our next stop will be Fattoria La Loggia in the rolling hills
of Tuscany. This one time medieval hamlet has been converted
into a series of suites and boutique hotel rooms, decorated
with a splash of Modern Italian Art. Tuscany is at our doorstep,
with Florence only 20 minutes north and Siena 45 minutes south.
Our cooking lessons are taught by Elena Mattei in her professional
teaching kitchen near Florence.

| Castello di Pavone |
Our final three nights will be spent in the incredible Castello
di Pavone in the Piedmont region. Pictures do not do justice
to the exquisite detail that has restored this castle to its'
present grandeur. It is truly a feast for the eyes! But the
unique surroundings are not the reason for our visit, for
here we are close to the source of the White Truffle….and
October is the season! Our culinary explorations will focus
on this most pleasantly pungent "fruit of the earth".
