As the weather gets colder, Hotel Savoy in Florence has introduced just the thing to warm the heart and soul with the introduction of their new Tuscan Culinary Retreat.
Curated by star Chef Fulvio Pierangelini, enjoy a Tuscan immersive retreat with an unforgettable blend of culture, cuisine and discovery. His passion for simple ingredients, cooked well, has constantly seen him at the forefront of the culinary industry, and the ability to learn from him first-hand is a rare and exceptional opportunity.
Experience a remarkable 4-day culinary odyssey through the heart of Tuscany, highlighted by an immersive truffle hunting experience alongside Guilio, the Savoy’s Truffle Concierge, followed by a hillside lunch featuring freshly harvested delicacies. Guests will also enjoy a visit to Lorenzo Villoresi’s private Museum of Scent, a very noble dinner and tour at the aristocratic Palazzo Gondi, a hands-on pasta-making class, a guided wine-tasting session, and a memorable wine cellar lunch at the Antinori.
Rocco Forte Hotels announced its forthcoming series of seasonally led Italian culinary retreats, titled, Culinary Secrets of Italy, curated to offer an immersive exploration of the diverse and captivating world of Italian gastronomy. The next one is planned in Palermo in Spring 2024.
Commenting on the philosophy that is the cornerstone of launching these special retreats across Italy, Fulvio says: “I try to imagine dishes that resemble the place that you’re in, no matter where it is in the world. I also choose premium local products that reflect the different seasons and cultural sensitivities.”
