Prepare the dishes and enjoy the products of your work with the appropriate wines. Classes will be held in Firenze, Lucca or your location and may be scheduled for any dates with two-day advance notice, and can be conducted in Italian, English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, or Japanese. You may take one lesson or combine them to fashion a program of your interest. The lessons begin at 16:00.
