The winter schedule is below - we hope you can join us while she's stateside or perhaps next year in Tuscany!

'Tis the season for new Olive Oil
The olive harvest is one of our favorite times of year in Tuscany. The air is filled with a strong, green vegetal perfume, the new oil is bright green.  Tasting the freshly pressed oil over warm toasted bread is just a slice of heaven!
Try bruschetta - lightly toasted bread is the perfect vehicle for tasting the peppery new oil and it goes great with some grilled sausages, white beans and a rustic red wine.
