Cooking class, visit to the wine cellar, 2500 year old granaries

About this tour

Spend four hours learning to cook Italian dishes from a professional chef, then taste your three-course creation paired with Prosecco and Chianti. Between cooking and eating, you'll descend into a 2500-year-old Etruscan wine cellar carved underground, where you'll sample the very wines accompanying your meal. The experience blends hands-on cookery, wine knowledge, and archaeological discovery into a single afternoon or evening in Italy.

Highlights

• Cook a three-course meal with professional instruction, English-speaking chef
• Taste wines in a genuine Etruscan cellar, 2500 years old
• Eat what you've prepared, paired with Prosecco and Chianti
• Explore underground granaries with archaeological significance
• Groups of 2–12 people; vegetarian options available

What to expect

You'll start in the kitchen with hands-on guidance from the chef, learning techniques and building dishes together. After cooking, you'll move to the wine cellar—an underground chamber hewn by ancient inhabitants—for a tasting session that introduces you to the region's wines before they appear on your table. The meal itself happens in a dining space where you sit down to eat your own work, course by course, with wine pairings throughout. The pace is deliberate: cooking, discovery, then savouring the result. Expect roughly two hours in the kitchen and one hour underground; the remaining time flows between tasting and eating.
