Esteemed chef and cookbook author Pascale Beale will lead the class, expertly crafting an array of exquisite dishes bursting with the flavors of fresh herbs that will be harvested together from our enchanting gardens.
The class will then head to our iconic loggia and learn how to make the five course:

This farm-to-table experience will include a sit-down lunch after the class, where guests can discuss what they've learned and enjoy their summer-inspired dishes together, all set against the stunning backdrop of Casa del Herrero.
Each guest will also receive a complimentary subscription to Pascale’s online food memoir "9’ x 12’: Culinary Adventures in a Small Kitchen" and a jar of the ‘Casa’ herb vinaigrette, which we will make on the day of the class.
