Incredible Dining
Mauro Maccioni, whose family hails from Montecatini, introduces us to some of the best restaurants and dining experiences in the Tuscany area. We start and end our journey with some special meals in Milano as well.
On this culinary insights tour we get behind the scenes to see how Mauro’s family and mother, Egi Maccioni, and local chefs use the product that makes Italy such a gastronomic destination.
Unique Excursions
Our excursions in the Tuscany area are very special. Some of the excursions include a parmiggiano tour and a meat-handling workshop at the world-renowned Dario Cecchini’s Antica Macelleria Cecchini with lunch. We will also have a cooking class and dinner party led by Mauro’s mother, Egi Maccioni.
The excursions for this trip create a nice balance between the incredible product of Italy and the cultural and historical elements that shape it. Wineries, museums and great dining!
The Team
Rascal + Thorn is working closely with Mauro Maccioni and his restaurant friends to design a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Tuscany. Interaction with the local chefs is a key component to our tours and makes for a truly special week for all.
