Pasta Class in Farmhouse near San Gimignano

About

The cooking class is held in the ancient rooms of our family farmhouse in Tuscany, between Siena and San Gimignano (20 min) where wine once used to be produced and kept. You will have the chance to learn how to prepare the traditional dishes which are prepared in our homes for a true Tuscan lunch.
We are not professional chefs but we have learned how to cook from our mothers and grandmothers and this is what we want to share with you. We believe that the best dishes of the traditional dishes of Tuscany are the most simple ones and that the respect and the attention we pay to the quality of the ingredients make all the difference.

The dishes we offer are simple and explained step by step so you will easily repeat them once you return home!
We will give you an authentic experience in which, for a day, you will move away from the tourist crowds of the cities in a splendid environment amongst the gentle Tuscan hills…

How does our cooking class in Tuscany take place?
The whole experience takes about 4 hours concluding with lunch where the dishes cooked during the class, all Tuscan food specialties, will be served, matched with a good local wine. If the weather is fine, lunch will be served in the beautiful garden in front of the farmhouse.

Please note that this class is not suitable for children under the age of 12.
