About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in Virginia and Matteo's home kitchen near Pisa for a three-hour cooking class grounded in Tuscan tradition. You'll shape fresh pasta, master local techniques, and sit down to eat what you've made, paired with wine. This is how locals actually cook—no theatre, just real food and real people passing on recipes worth keeping.

- Shape gnudi and pasta by hand from scratch
- Cook seasonal Tuscan dishes in a working home kitchen

- Learn ingredient sourcing and technique direct from hosts
- Dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free) accommodated

What to expect
You'll arrive at a residential home in Cascina and spend the afternoon cooking alongside your hosts. Expect flour under your fingernails, real conversation, and gentle correction of your pasta folds. Virginia and Matteo walk you through their approach to each dish—why they choose certain ingredients, how timing matters. The kitchen is warm and lived-in, not a commercial studio. After cooking, you sit together to eat, with wine poured and stories shared. It's unhurried and genuinely collaborative.
Good to know
No air conditioning in the home. Public transport reaches the location easily; arrange your own way there. Tell them about allergies or dietary preferences when you book. The menu shifts with seasons. Maximum two drinks per person or one shared bottle of wine.
