Join Our 2025 Sourdough Course at Castello di Potentino, Tuscany – 8th – 14th September
I am thrilled that in 2025, we will be holding a regular sourdough course at the stunning Castello di Potentino in Tuscany. Nestled between Pisa, Siena, and Rome, this breathtaking location offers the perfect setting for a week of immersive learning and culinary delight on bread and longevity.
Important Details:
Students are required to book their own accommodation directly with Castello di Potentino, as staying at the castle is a part of our unique experience. This arrangement allows us to fully integrate the use of the castle’s produce—including garden herbs, olive oil, wine, and other local ingredients—into our baking sessions. We will also be milling our own botanical blend flour on-site, making this an authentically immersive culinary experience.
- Please check the link to see the accommodation at Castells di Potentino.
- Only once you are booked, please then book your accommodation ASAP.
- While we have two baking sessions daily, allowing for a break during the hottest part of the day, there will be ample time for relaxation and exploration.
- Please note, breakfast is the responsibility of each student. Additional guests are welcome, but they will need to arrange their own activities during the baking sessions.
- All travel arrangements, accommodation inquiries, and logistics are to be handled by the students. We highly recommend securing travel insurance, as this retreat is essentially a holiday experience where we are providing the course and food.
