We Invite You to Our Home & Have Saved a Place for You at the Table!
We combine searching for the best seasonal local ingredients, hands-on cooking classes, and the conviviality of the table to help you connect with the people through their food, culture, and land.
Explore the sprawling hiking trails or relax by the pool, in a hurry to go nowhere. The famous white & black truffles are found on the property and if you are lucky enough to visit in the fall, you can taste its unique flavor. The surrounding wooded areas are perfect for those who enjoy excursions into the forest to gather wild berries, delicious wild mushrooms, or even participate in the search for fragrant truffles under old oak trees with the guidance of an expert truffle hunter.
Cooking Classes, Events, & Workshops
Our cooking classes (featured in USA Today, Budget Travel Magazine, Food & Wine, The Guardian & more) are hands-on & truly from the 'farm to the table' with the first stop down to the garden farm to collect fresh fruits & veggies! Everything we eat is local & seasonal! Chef Jason Bartner shares the secrets of cucina povera (peasant cooking) in full day & half day classes as well as custom packages. Taught by a Professional Chef, for over 30 years turned Farmer and Teacher, our classes are more than just sharing recipes but understanding how to balance flavors, the why behind the technique and of course, knife skills.
