The Italian School’s unique food & wine cookery holiday in Puglia each morning includes either a special cookery lesson or an award winning vineyard tour with wine tasting. You will discover the secrets of the best Salentine recipes and discover the amazing wines of the region. Each afternoon our tour includes trips to one of the beautiful towns of Lecce, Otranto, Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano a Mare.

Come join us for unforgettable tastes, hands-on experiences and the opportunity to live the traditions that make Italy so special and so enduring. You and your fellow travelers will come to know firsthand the food, wine, history and people of this special part of Italy: Romagna.

Situated between the sparkling Adriatic Sea and the hills of Tuscany, Romagna boasts not only a fascinating history but is widely regarded as the cradle of Italian culinary tradition.

Le Cesarine is a network of local people from over 90 towns and cities all over Italy. Today there are over 400 “Cesarine”, (a term derived from a Romagnolo expression meaning ‘ruler of the kitchen’) expert cooks that organise culinary events of all sizes in their own homes for people who would like to experience Italy’s ‘forgotten flavours’. They are guardians of their culinary heritage, working with the goal of providing authentic experiences and gastronomic excellence.

Set in the backdrop of one Italy’s most beautiful squares, we will take you on adventure through the undiscovered region of Le Marche. From hands-on cooking classes with local chefs and sommeliers to visits to some of Italy’s most spectacular sites, and award-winning wineries, your trip will be nothing short of authentically Italian. With our personal connections and local Italian headquarters our expertise allows you to get in touch with a part of Italy you could never experience on your own. Live our Italy and experience the authentic Italian vacation you have been craving.

Italy is an amazing country but it is so much more than the classic, tourist packed places of Rome, Florence, Venice or Tuscany.

It is here in the south where you can find 'Italia vera' (real Italy) and La Lucana gives you an opportunity to discover this more authentic side to Italy.
