The graduation week will be filled with enriching experiences. There will be a wine tasting featuring 12 biodynamic wines produced by the castle vineyard, a cheese-making evening, and a pasta-making evening. All of these activities are available for students’ partners and family members as well. If they wish to participate, they will need to book with the castle directly, but these special experiences are covered in the student’s participation fee.
The graduation ceremony itself will take place in a breathtaking Tuscan Castle, accessible from major cities in Italy. Students must be enrolled in this year’s diploma, arrange transportation, and book accommodation directly with the castle. The Sourdough School does not charge for the week, allowing you to celebrate this achievement in an unparalleled setting.
APPLICATIONS OPEN ON 5th SEPTEMBER
