WEEKEND ACTIVITIES
In preparation for your weekend at Villa Lena, we kindly ask you to make your selections if you plan to join any activities listed on the invitation.
PASTA MAKING CLASS
Learn how to create genuine, delicious, fresh and totally homemade pasta, together with our chef. The class also includes a lunch based on the pasta created by you and a glass of Villa Lena wine during the class for a full Italian cooking experience.
TRUFFLE HUNTING
Join the Villa's truffle dogs and expert guides in a peaceful search for the famous tartufo bianco, or white truffle. With your treasure secured, learn to prepare fresh pasta al tartufo in a cooking class with our chef, then enjoy a well deserved lunch with views of the Tuscan countryside. Due to the nature of this experience, a limited number of guests can attend each outing with the truffle dogs.
WINE TASTING
Did you know Villa Lena produces their own wine? Kick off your day with a look at the beautiful vineyards and a deep dive into the world of organic, biodynamic, and natural wines. Explore the nuances of the renowned Sangiovese and Vermentino grapes through a guided tasting. Your tasting will include samples of Villa Lena products and other selections from Tuscany, served with freshly baked focaccia and local cold cuts.
