  My daughter wanted to experience what it was like to live in Italy and we got just that, staying at a warm, comfortable farm house and dining regularly with our hosts and their extended family. We truly enjoyed learning to prepare several appetizers, entrees and desserts with the help of Lucca, a true master chef. And we were able to explore many of the wonderful towns in Tuscany, tasting wines, cheeses and house specialties. I couldn't have asked for ahing more!

  My mother and I traveled to beautiful Tuscany, Italy in Nov. 2016 to celebrate my 40th birthday. I was looking for an opportunity to learn what it FEELS like to live in Italy, rather than just see the sights (which ARE wonderful and amazing!). We booked the cooking/food tour with Caspin Journeys and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. We began each day of our Tuscan adventure in the beautiful Nobile guest house relaxing with great coffee and delicate pastries from a local bakery. Each day we were guided by either Pino or Antonio & Simona to new towns to view the architecture, hear the stories of old, and learn about the treasured foods and wines. We stopped for Cappuccino (only before noon!) and expresso in the afternoon. We dined in wonderful restaurants filled with the local people, trying something new every time. We would have a small respite upon coming home to the Nobile guest house. When Luca (our Master Chef) arrived, we could either enjoy watching him at work or dive right in to learn how to prepare some of Tuscany?s finest foods. These evenings were so fun while cooking, feasting, drinking great wine, and enjoying the company of the Nobile family. For the week I spent in Italy, I felt well-guided, indulged, enlightened, and most importantly welcomed by this great Italian family ? it was a trip my mother and I will never forget!

  Pino, Caroline and their entire family & staff made us feel like family. The itinerary was well planned and our experience while touring the Tuscan towns or preparing the menus each evening was exceptional! All recipes & preparations, were well planned, entertaining AND delicious! Accommodations were comfortable and private, and the setting was true Tuscan. Truly, more that I ever expected.

  This was a first class experience conducted by two affable, intelligent, adventurous and fun people, Simona and Antonio. Simona is vivacious, creative and extremely competent, and Antonio is energetic and a virtual fountain of information concerning Italian history and culture. Lucca , the chef, was engaging and ready to teach. The people, the food, and the wine were all great! If we had the opportunity, we would definitely repeat this experience!
