Buon Appetito Friuli is a hands-on cooking school located in one of Friuli’s most enchanting settings: the 13th century Casanova castle on the gentle slopes of the Collio hills, only about one-hour drive from Venice and only few minutes from Slovenia. The manor, situated on a sixty-hectare estate, is surrounded by vineyards, a magnificent park and a brand new 18-hole golf course. The atmosphere is lovely and peaceful, just the perfect location to enjoy a leisurely vacation mixed with an unforgettable cooking experience.
Cooking lessons take place in the castles' well-equipped kitchen with chef Tonino, an excellent instructor that will teach you how to prepare great Italian and Friulian recipes and pair them with the excellent wines produced in this area.
Courses are suitable for all levels - from beginners to professionals – but they are limited to small groups (max. 8 people) in order to guarantee all participants a personalized service, a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere and give them the possibility to customize their vacation as much as possible.
Faculty Information:
All classes are hands-on and last approximately 3 hours, followed by lunch or dinner. Meals feature foods prepared during class and consist of three/four courses accompanied by excellent wines produced on the estate.
