We spent the day learning how to cook a four-course authentic Italian meal, highly recommended!

We started by shopping at the local markets for fresh tomatoes and basil; the bakery for our bread; the cheese monger for Parmesan Reggiano cheese; and the meat market for pork loin and freshly ground beef.  We headed up to the estate in a bus and emptied out into a beautiful kitchen where we all did some hands on learning the fine art of making bruschetta, pizza, fresh pasta and tiramisu.  We ate, drank wine and socialized throughout, culminating in our very large supper and dessert.
