Is it possible as a tourist to visit Olive Garden's Culinary Institute of Tuscany?

Question

I went to the institute's website -- http://www.olivegarden.com/culinary/cit -- and did not see any information on tours. (There is a 'tour us' link, but it is streaming video.) Still, I recall reading in a travel magazine months ago that the institute showed tourists around once in a while, which is why I am still trying to find out.

Hi,

I think before you plan that, you may want to have a little read:

Have a look here:

You see, the "Olive Garden Culinary Institute of Tuscany" is really more or less a marketing thing that made pretty commercials.

There are many real cooking schools in Italy that will be authentic.  Here is ours:
