Cook In Tuscany

I don't even know where to begin to tell you how wonderful our week at Cook in Tuscany" was. Five stars just doesn't give it justice!!! It was like living in a dream. It was so far beyond what we expected. The experiences were so unique from hunting for truffles to our wine pairing dinners. Who ever thought that we could drink so much wine and have so much fun! Linda and George were truly amazing

I can’t say enough about the wonderful time we had at Cook in Tuscany. Linda, George and Whitney are wonderful hosts, the tours and cooking classes were perfect and more than we anticipated, and Tuscany is one breathtaking view after another. This experience should definitely be on everyone’s bucket list.

What a wonderful experience! Seven days of cooking, eating, touring Italy. We visited a working organic farm where we watched cheese being made and learned about slow food." We visited nearby villages and learned some of the history of Italy. I would definitely go back again. All-inclusive trip includes meals

The vacation of a lifetime! George, Linda and Whitney chose the most beautiful place for this experience and I hope to return some day. Accommodations were attractive, comfortable, clean and convenient to all the cooking classes and excursions we took! Prepare to indulge in delicious food, wines and laughter at this all-inclusive vacation spot. Your time is planned out well for instruction and excursions, but not so much that you are exhausted. We were able to enjoy the company of new friends as well as learn to cook traditional Tuscan fare. It felt like going to a relative’s vacation home, not like going to a hotel. You cannot miss this place and the experience!

What a wonderfully, glorious time we had in Montefollonico--George, Linda and Whitney were such fun and gracious hosts!! The cooking school was unbelievable, the resort was beautiful, the food was second to none, the excursions were spot on...and the friendships we have created--unforgettable! If you have the chance to enjoy a culinary vacation, Cook in Tuscany is the one!! Cheers!

In May 2022, my aunt and I, along with each of our friends, took a trip of a lifetime to Tuscany to spend a week at La Chiusa. It was one of the best weeks of my life! From day one to the very last day every detail of the experience met and exceeded my expectations. George and Linda are wonderful hosts and make everyone feel at home. I learned so much and really got to soak up the beauty of Italy, as well as enjoy it with family and friends and meet new friends as well. Each day we either cooked or ate something new, explored the town, learned the history of Montefollonico, and did plenty of dancing and laughing. I have life long memories of cook in Tuscany and hope to be back very soon. :)

Three times and still want more!Our first time at Cook in Tuscany was May of 2016. What a delight! Cooking in a different restaurant kitchen each day, dinner at a different restaurant, tours in a different Village, what a perfect way to experience Italy. We went back in September 2018 with a group of 9. This year we went the first week in June. Oh my what a great time we had.This was our first time at the new Inn, LaChiusa. George, Linda and Whitney have left no detail unturned. What a fabulous stay. The bed's were comfortable, linens and towels comfortable and plush. The pool, although a little chilly was a welcome addition. A stroll through the lush gardens and Olive groves is a must. The restaurant was fantastic, with food not only tasty but beautiful. A real culinary treat!The cooking class and tours were amazing as always! We took time out to ATV through the Tuscan Countryside, Horseback ride through the vineyards and step back in time with a walk through beautiful walled gardens. We started everyday with a fabulous cooking class and ended every evening with a dinner to delight the palate.This three timer is already planning trip number 4!

Six years ago I attended Cook in Tuscany with girlfriends. For six years I have talked about the experience so positively that my husband decided he would like to attend cooking school this year. Our experience in May was even better than the first trip. The Meyers have developed an excellent program— fun, informative, interesting and suitable for all levels of cooking expertise. The tours and activities were outstanding—truffle hunting, cheese making, and exploring surrounding villages. One of the best parts of the experience was the friendships that developed over the week and , of course, there was the laughter, lots of that too. I’d like to give the experience 6 stars!

The Cook In Tuscany experience was delightful! It was the perfect balance of learning about the Tuscan culture and cooking techniques, making new friends and celebrating the experience with great wine, food, and dance. Thank you so much, George and Linda!

We didn't really know what to expect during our time in Tuscany other than what we had seen online. All of our hopes and expectations were exceeded in every way but what we didn't count on was the sheer beauty and incredible sense of calm and relaxation that came over us each time we looked out over the valley. Linda and George were incredible hosts, knowing instinctively how to blend the classes, the touring and the periodic breaks in the day so that we never felt rushed nor hurried, but were also never bored. George is also a wonderful tease, making each of his guests feel like a long lost dear friend and it's clear from his interactions with his neighbors that he and Linda are valued members of the Tuscan culture. We learned sooo much about food and wine and history and came away with a sense that these folks have truly figured out what's important in life. I find myself wishing we were back there and trying to figure out how best to return. This was far more than a vacation; this was truly an experience of a lifetime and one we will treasure always.
