Homemade Pasta Class and Lunch in the Heart of Chianti

About this tour

Learn to roll and shape pasta from scratch at Francesco's farmhouse kitchen in the Chianti countryside, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside homemade desserts and local wine. This four-hour session puts you to work alongside your host in a working family kitchen, not a staged demo space. You'll leave with a handmade memento of the dish you prepared and a practical skill you can replicate at home.

Highlights

• Roll fresh pasta by hand in a genuine Tuscan farmhouse
• Cook and eat lunch featuring your own homemade pasta
• Taste Chianti wine paired with the meal
• Learn recipes passed down through Francesco's family
• Take home a keepsake from your dish
• Suitable for families and groups of varying cooking ability

What to expect

Expect to get your hands floury and your apron used. Francesco will walk you through pasta-making from mixing dough to cutting and shaping, with time to ask questions and make mistakes—that's how you learn. You're not watching a demonstration; you're actually doing the work alongside everyone else in the group. Once the pasta is ready, you'll gather at the table to eat it fresh with wine, followed by homemade desserts. The whole thing takes about four hours from arrival to finishing lunch.
