Foodie clients should head to Tuscany this fall, where Alain Ducasse’s L’Andana, is serving up The Tuscan Cooking Experience. The 33-room inn’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Trattoria Toscana, is known for specializing in the cultivation of wine, olive oil, fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Rotating throughout the fall, The Tuscan Cooking Experience includes such experiences as picking grapes at the Super Tuscan vineyard, Petra, visiting a family farm to harvest chestnuts or journeying to the local market to choose pumpkins. Led by L’Andana’s team of world class chefs, participants will be taught simple and authentic recipes using the central ingredient of their choice.

Packages built around the program include a three-night stay in Deluxe accommodations or a Junior Suite. Included are daily a Tuscan breakfast and a dinner for two at The Villa restaurant. Also included are visit to the nearby Castiglione della Pescaia beaches and a visit to the 6,000-square-foot spa also enhances the perfect Tuscan Cooking Experience.

L’Andana is situated on the 1,240-acre Tenuta La Badiola Estate.
