Cooking at an enchanting castle
(6 or 3 nights)

The Castle of Spessa  - Capriva del Friuli

 :: ITINERARIES ::

 


LOCATION
Cooking classes take place in a charming 13th century manor situated on a sixty-hectar estate, surrounded by vineyards and a magnificent park on the gentle slopes of the Collio hills, one of Italy's finest wine-growing locations, only about one-hour drive from Venice. The atmosphere is lovely and peaceful, just the perfect location to enjoy a leisurely vacation mixed with an unforgettable cooking experience.

The estate also houses a renowned winery producing prized D.O.C. red and white wines and an excellent grappa. The cellar, which can be reached by descending seventy steps underground, was a former military bunker. It was built at the end of the 30's and used during the Second World War as a bomb shelter. It crosses the heart of the castle from east to west and it is the pride of the estate.

Participants can choose to stay in the castle's comfortable suites with private bathroom, all decorated with refined antiques reflecting a different style in each suite and offering incredible views of the Collio hills, or in the charming rooms with mansard ceilings of the castle's Inn, a cosy, welcoming country house set at the castle's foothills. The Inn, entirely rebuilt on the site of the castle's old tavern, hosts a refined restaurant on the ground floor and ten enchanting suites with private bathroom (some with jacuzzi shower or bath), air conditioning, phone, minibar, hair dryer, satellite TV, on the first floor. All adorned with elegant tapestries and furnishings, they offer delightful views of a breathtaking landscape.

Cooking classes take place in the castles' well-equipped kitchen and are taught by experienced and professional instructors. Following the true Italian way of eating, all meals are prepared using fresh ingredients and what's available in season, to guarantee the best quality and success of all culinary creations.
