We organize cooking classes, wine tasting and Italian language classes in stylish private villas, sailing trips, as well as forays into the arts (opera, exhibition, fashion tours) and outdoor (golf, sailing, biking) activities. We also provide exclusive customized services such as weddings and honeymoons, or classes for groups with special interests (corporate, small groups, Alumni reunions, family gatherings).
We rent amazing villas which are privately owned where people can
stay and where the cooking and language classes are given, experiencing the M16695. Then we organize tours to the best local markets and to the food, wine, olive oil, arts, fashion local artisans.
M16695's special programs include: the grape harvest during the wine making season; the tomato salsa school in September; the olive oil school in November/December; cooking classes in a sailing boat from April to October. From September till October M16695 organizes many food & wine bicycle tours: we visit vineyards and local artisans by bikes.
Our cooking classes are given by both professional and local chefs, following the authentic and traditional Pugliese recipes. People can choose between demonstration or hands-on classes. Classes are very small and intimate and can go from 2 people (for the customized classes) to max 12 people for the pre-arranged programs.
M16695 is owned and managed by the two sisters, Cinzia and Marika Rascazzo, while all classes are given by professional cooks, sommeliers, wine makers, artists, carefully chosen to provide an exclusive and authentic Mediterranean experience.
Cinzia earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in Boston and worked for several years abroad in Marketing and Finance roles. In 2005 she decided to move back to Lecce, her home town in the South of Italy, where she works as a consultant for a Milanese Private Equity fund investing in Southern Italy. By looking at small family businesses in niche sectors (wine and food, jewelry, hotels with golf and spas, fashion), Cinzia gained exposure to the best artisan companies in her Puglia region. Given her extensive experience in the US, UK and other foreign countries Cinzia speaks fluent English and French, as well as Italian. She has a 10-year degree in Classical Piano from The Conservatory of Music.
Marika is a Clinical Cardiologist at the Lecce main hospital.
