Tuesday- Cooking Class in Tuscany

Tuesday morning Dave and Justin headed off to a cooking class.  Bridget, Spencer, Matt and I hung out at the villa for a bit in the morning then drove over to Montepulciano again for a quick walk around before heading to the cooking class to eat lunch. 

When we arrived at the villa where the boys were at class, they were still rolling pasta.  We were greeted with a glass of prosseco and some appetizers while they finished up preparing lunch.  We played with their beautiful white shepherd named Bella and walked around the property admiring all the fruit trees. 

Lunch was delish and Justin picked up a few good cooking tips for pasta and such that we will be using at home!

On our way home we detoured to visit Pienza, another small town a few miles from our Villa. 

Then for dinner, we got a great recommendation from the chef that taught the cooking class, in another tiny town called Monticchiello.  We sat out on the patio despite the chilly temperature.  Food was yummy and we had a surprise visitor from a little cat that almost jumped on Spencer's head!
