About
Podere Sala is a homestead in the making, located just 20 minutes south of Florence in a restored farmhouse. Set on half a hectare of land, surrounded by forests and vineyards, we’re learning how to cultivate, preserve, and tend to our corner of the earth. Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow as we take small steps toward a more intentional, joyful way of living. Life here is about celebrating and fostering collective well-being—through the way we live and connect with one another, embracing community, simplicity, sustainability, and shared purpose.
We’re Michela, who grew up in this house, and Waverly—two people tending this place with care, creating something meaningful together.
If you’d like to come spend the day with us here are our offerings for 2025…
Cucina
Every Friday, you’re invited to a day of communal cooking and shared meals.
Arrive by 10:30 AM to plan the day’s menu together. We’ll cook with fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients—preparing classic Tuscan dishes, sometimes with a twist. Enjoy wine pairings throughout the experience.
€100 per person.
Pranzo della Domenica
Join us every Sunday for a leisurely lunch all’italiana.
Start with a welcome glass of local natural wine before gathering around our long communal table. The menu changes weekly and features seasonal starters, handmade pasta, generous sharing platters, and finishes with homemade desserts, coffee, and a digestivo.
€50 per person – includes two glasses of wine.
Due to the summer heat, Pranzo della Domenica will be cena della domenica during July and August.
Private Cooking Classes
Every other day, we open our kitchen for private cooking classes. You’ll start with a glass of local natural wine, then learn to prepare a few Tuscan classics—fresh pasta, seasonal contorni, and a traditional dessert. It’s a relaxed, hands-on experience, ending with a shared meal around the table, coffee, and a little digestivo to finish.
