About this tour
Learn to roll and shape fresh pasta at Elena's kitchen in Italy over three hours. You'll master ribbon shapes like tagliatelle and work through building sauces from tomatoes, garlic and herbs picked at their peak. Elena teaches vegetarian-focused cooking rooted in her family's methods, finishing with a house-made dessert like tiramisu before sitting down to eat everything you've made alongside local wine.

What to expect
You'll start at Elena's home kitchen where she'll demonstrate each pasta shape, then guide you through the kneading and rolling yourself. Expect flour on your hands and apron—this is hands-on work. While pasta rests, you'll prepare sauces, learning how Elena chooses vegetables and builds flavour. The final hour shifts to dessert-making and sitting together to eat what you've cooked. The pace is unhurried; there's time to ask questions and watch techniques up close.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting messy. The kitchen is accessible to service animals. Public transport runs nearby if you need it. Bring an appetite—portions are generous once you sit down to eat.
