What to expect from your private chef experience
Your private chef experience in San Casciano in Val di Pesa begins well before the first course is served. Your experience begins when your chef arrives at your accommodation with the day's finest ingredients from Tuscany's local markets and producers. After a welcome drink and a chat about your preferences, the magic starts. Imagine rustic farmhouses surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, elegant country estates with cypress-lined driveways, castle courtyards under the stars — while your chef prepares a bespoke multi-course menu. You might start with a light appetizer, move through handmade pasta like bistecca alla fiorentina, enjoy a main such as ribollita, and finish with cantucci with Vin Santo. Each course is paired with wines like Super Tuscans or Brunello di Montalcino. Your chef handles everything: cooking, plating, serving, and a spotless kitchen at the end.
