Private chef in Montepulciano

People come to Montepulciano for the wine. Vino Nobile made this Renaissance town famous, and those who arrive want above all to eat and drink well, slowly, among the cellars and the hills. We bring the chef right into that calm, at your home or in an estate.

We cook in the villas, agriturismi and cellars between Montepulciano and the Val di Chiana, with menus designed to accompany the local reds. If you already have the right bottles, we build the dinner around them.

Multilingual chefs, for an evening that turns on the wine without leaving where you are.

A dinner around Vino Nobile

Here the pairing is the starting point. A Vino Nobile or a Rosso di Montepulciano asks for dishes that meet it: meats, slow cooking, hand-made pici, pecorino at the right point. We build the menu and then tune it to the bottles you will open, whether yours or chosen together in a cellar.

Dinners in villas and cellars

We lay the table in villas and farmhouses, in gardens over the vines and, when possible, in the cellars themselves. We cook on the spot and leave everything in order. For a larger evening we add floor service, keeping the food cooked in the moment.

Where we work

We work in Montepulciano and the Val di Chiana, towards Pienza and Val d'Orcia and towards Lake Trasimeno, in villas, estates and agriturismi.

How we arrange your evening

It all starts with an email. We need to know how many you will be, when, and the air you want to give the dinner, and on that we propose a menu drawn just for you. We choose the dishes together, factor in allergies and tastes and give you a transparent quote right away.

On the right evening the chef arrives with the selected ingredients, lights the stove where you are and looks after the table through to dessert, then clears up and leaves the house in order. Whether you are in a home in the old town or a farmhouse among the rows of vines, we reach you with no trouble.

The Nobile and the pici, the taste of Montepulciano

The dinner turns around what these hills give. The Vino Nobile accompanies the evenings that matter, pici cacio e pepe or with ragu are never missing, and then there is Pienza pecorino, cinta senese cured meats, oil fresh from the press.

No ready-made menu: we build it with you, following the season and your taste, and when needed we take care of the pairing with the labels of the area. A dinner among these vineyards should wear the character of Montepulciano.
