About this tour
Learn to make pasta and traditional dishes in Giorgia and Luigi's countryside home near Radda in Chianti. This three-hour private session unfolds on their outdoor patio, where you'll cook two or three regional recipes from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made. Local wine and olive oil feature throughout, giving you a genuine taste of how Tuscan families actually cook and eat together, rather than watching from the sidelines.
Highlights
- Hand-roll and cook fresh pasta with Giorgia
- Taste local Chianti wines and cold-pressed oils
- Prepare 2–3 traditional Italian dishes together
- Dine family-style in their home afterwards
- Completely private experience, no group tourists
- Vegetarian and vegan adaptations available
What to expect
You'll arrive at their residential farmhouse and work on the patio, rolling up your sleeves for the pasta-making part—expect flour, a bit of mess, real technique. Giorgia will walk you through two or three classic recipes; the pace is unhurried. Between cooking tasks, you'll taste their wine and olive oil. Once everything's ready, you'll move inside to eat together at their table, sharing the meal you've made. The whole thing feels like visiting friends who happen to be exceptional cooks, not a formal class.
Good to know
The house has no air conditioning, so summer afternoons can be warm; evening classes run June–September only. Morning sessions operate year-round. Children under 12 get a customised program—reach out in advance so Giorgia can adapt the activities to their age. Bring an appetite. Hotel transfers aren't included.
