Locanda Demetra & Montalcino Cooking School
About
Locanda Demetra & Montalcino Cooking School is a family‑run farm, restaurant and cooking school nestled just outside the historic town of Montalcino in Tuscany. Guests can follow the farmers’ daily routines—pruning vines, harvesting vegetables, picking olives, and even collecting honey—before stepping into the kitchen to learn how to turn these fresh ingredients into a complete Italian meal. A typical three‑hour cooking class starts at 10 AM, followed by a relaxed hour of lunch served on the farm’s terrace or in the cozy kitchen dining area. The surrounding vineyards and olive groves provide a stunning backdrop for both the classes and the restaurant’s afternoon and dinner service, with outdoor seating available from May through September. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for the limited tables under the pergola or the family table in the kitchen.
