Il Vicario - Tuscan Cooking Class

About

Il Vicario is a historic 14th‑century former chapterhouse turned boutique farmhouse and Tuscan cooking school located in the rolling hills 4 km from the medieval town of San Gimignano. Run by Katia and her nephew Fulvio, the family‑run venue offers authentic, hands‑on cooking classes where guests learn the secrets of traditional Tuscan cuisine – from making rustic bread and homemade cured meats to mastering fresh pasta and regional sauces – all while sharing a convivial meal prepared alongside the hosts. The setting combines the charm of a centuries‑old canonical building with modern comforts: five well‑furnished rooms overlook the courtyard, and the spacious kitchen provides a welcoming, family‑friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast, a family looking for a memorable activity, or simply a traveler craving genuine Tuscan flavors, a class at Il Vicario promises an immersive, taste‑bud‑savouring experience that transforms a casual cooking lesson into a celebration of regional tradition and hospitality.
