Beyond Tuscany: Experience a Slice of Local Life with La Tavola Marche

made in le marche 2026 workshop

Pergola, Pesaro-Urbino Jan 12, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Get off the beaten path and travel just beyond Tuscany, where the tourist buses cant reach, to a land rich in culinary traditions still thriving today in Le Marche, Italy.

After two decades living in the heart of Italy, La Tavola Marche owners, Ashley & Jason Bartne,r invite you to experience a slice of life as a local with a 5 Night culinary adventure, Made in Le Marche! "From our 500-year-old farmhouse, we'll personally introduce you to the region's finest artisans and share local seasonal recipes, tasting the true essence of Italian tradition with every bite!"

The classes are more than just sharing seasonal recipes, but understanding how to balance flavors, the why behind the technique, and, of course, knife skills.  Not to mention, La Tavola Marche has been included in numerous publications as one of the Top Cooking Schools in Italy (USA Today,  The Telegraph,  Lonely Planet, Forbes).

Arrive to a welcome prosecco & aperitivi, meet the fellow guests and enjoy a farm-to-table feast!  On the second day, relax and settle in! We will visit our tiny village of Piobbico for a walk around town and up to the medieval castle, and visit the internationally famous Club dei Brutti, or the Ugly Club! Those brave enough will be evaluated on your ugliness, not your beauty - it's a small town pride to be part of this club! After the fun, we will walk through town to lunch al fresco on the main street, perfect for people watching! That evening, the cooking classes begin with two types of pasta (cut & filled) with two seasonal sauces.

Then enjoy an expert-guided wine tour and tasting, followed by a memorable lunch with one of the wine makers!  Return to the farmhouse for our famous pizza night!

Day 4, 'feel like a local' and spend the morning with Jason and Ashley eating our way through Apecchio! The first stop is for a lesson on how cheese is aged and meat cured locally, followed by a breakfast of charcuterie and wine. We will take a short walk and continue our gazing with a stop for porchetta (whole de-boned pig) at the traveling market.  Finishing with an unforgettable lunch at the hunters hideaway, including a behind-the-scenes tour of their kitchen with the butcher! That evening, explore the area or hang out at the farmhouse for a laid-back evening of an Italian-themed Quiz Nite.

On your last day, visit Urbino, Urbania, or even Fano on the Adriatic for a day trip! Then that evening return for Dinner Party Cooking Class, followed by a farewell dinner!

For those curious what will be on the menu, it all depends on what's coming out of their massive garden!
Spring- artichokes, fava, peas...
Summer- tomatoes, zucchini, squash blossoms...
Autumn- pumpkins, peppers, and mushrooms from the woods
