Tour description

Nestled in the enchanting Chianti Classico countryside, Convento is a historic gem surrounded by a centuries-old olive grove. Its iconic tower offers breathtaking views of the rolling hills and unforgettable sunsets. Dating back to the 1200s, this beautifully preserved convent is recognized as a Fine Arts heritage site, a testament to its enduring charm and history.

Your journey begins with an immersive tour of the property and its lush botanical garden. Here, you’ll uncover the secrets of the region's herbs and plants, learning about their traditional uses before handpicking fresh ingredients to craft a truly authentic meal.

The hands-on cooking class, lasting 4 to 6 hours, invites you to explore the flavours of Chianti through a seasonal menu. Guided by local experts, you'll prepare a first course such as lasagna or handmade tagliatelle, a second course like pollo alla cacciatora or pork loin with apples, and a decadent dessert—perhaps a classic tiramisu.

Following the class, you'll savour the fruits of your labor during a relaxing meal paired with our curated selection of estate wines. Conclude your experience with a guided wine tasting, celebrating the rich heritage and flavors of Chianti Classico. Join us at Convento for an unforgettable day of history, flavor, and tradition in the heart of Tuscany.
