Master Classes in Foraging + Cooking 1 Day

Reconnect with the natural landscape through an immersive Masters Experience dedicated to the ancient art of foraging—the discovery, identification, and use of the wild ingredients that have nourished generations of Italian cooks.

Led by an expert in wild food traditions, this exclusive experience introduces guests to the hidden treasures of the countryside, revealing how plants, herbs, flowers, roots, and seasonal ingredients can transform the way we understand food and our relationship with nature. Combining botanical knowledge with culinary creativity, the Masters Class explores the delicate balance between harvesting from the land and preserving the ecosystems that sustain it.

Guests learn how to identify edible species, understand their seasonal cycles, and recognise the unique aromas, flavours, and properties of nature’s forgotten ingredients. From wild herbs and aromatic plants to unexpected edible treasures, the session reveals the remarkable diversity that exists just beyond the traditional kitchen garden.

The experience continues by exploring how these natural ingredients have inspired Italian cuisine for centuries, and how contemporary chefs are rediscovering foraging as a source of innovation, sustainability, and authentic connection to place. Participants discover techniques for preparation, preservation, and creative use, transforming simple wild ingredients into exceptional culinary experiences.

More than a lesson in gathering food, this Masters Experience is an invitation to slow down, observe, and rediscover the landscape through all the senses. It celebrates the wisdom of traditional knowledge combined with modern gastronomy, offering guests a deeper appreciation of the relationship between nature, culture, and the art of Italian cuisine.
