Escape to the Roman Countryside for a Truly Local Experience
Step away from the crowds and discover an authentic slice of Italy in the hills of Tivoli.
This is not your typical day trip—it's an intimate journey into the heart of Roman culinary tradition, set on a peaceful farmhouse surrounded by olive trees. Led by a local chef, you’ll spend the day immersed in nature, farm-to-table food, and genuine hospitality.
Our driver will pick you up in Rome for a scenic ride into the countryside, where you'll be welcomed at a family-owned farmhouse—not a stage set, but a place where things are grown, cooked, and shared.
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class using fresh ingredients picked just steps from the kitchen. With your chef, you’ll master traditional Roman recipes—from handmade pasta to rich, rustic sauces—while sipping local wine and sharing stories around the table.
After your meal, you'll visit Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its magical fountains and Renaissance gardens—the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.
Head back to Rome full of memories and flavors you won’t find on any tourist map.
This is the kind of day that stays with you.
