Just say cheese!

formaggio.jpg ThumbnailMake your way into the Etruscan walls of Cortona. Tucked between a nook and crany, you will meet Romano and his lovely wife Agostina, at their typical Tuscan restaurant.. Romano will quickly become one of your favorite characters in Italy, and he will teach us the art of cheese making. From local sheep’s milk you will make Ricotta, Mozzarella, and the Pecorino that is so famous from these verdant valleys. Along with our cheese making instruction, we will have the pleasure of lunch in his lovely restaurant. It will be a most delicious feast!

formaggio4.jpg Thumbnail"....I have been to Tuscany two times with Doumina, and I would never miss this class with Romano and Agostina.  The food keeps arriving and the wine is poured endlessly. The most generous people and they always makes you feel like the most special guest in the room...."

 

My guests say:

"Doumina gives you an up-close insiders view of the treasures surrounding the enchanted hill town of Cortona. You like olive oil? Meet a farmer who picks his olives, and the man who presses them. Art your thing? Listen to the passionate sermons of her guide, and real-life descendant of Cortona's own Luca Signorelli. Want to eat the way the heartiest Tuscans do? For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will. Guaranteed."
