About this tour
Learn to make fresh pasta and gelato from scratch in Chianti's countryside. This three-hour hands-on course at SiChef teaches both technique and theory, covering two cornerstone skills of Italian cooking. You'll work with professional equipment, receive a diploma on completion, and get recipe cards to recreate dishes at home. Course wraps with either lunch or dinner depending on your session time.
Highlights
- Roll and shape pasta by hand using traditional methods
- Master gelato-making from cream to serving temperature
- Work alongside professional kitchen equipment and instruction
- Diploma and printed recipes included
- Meal follows your chosen course slot
What to expect
Expect a practical mix of demonstration and hands-on work. Your instructor will walk you through pasta dough preparation, kneading, and shaping techniques, then guide you through making gelato from base ingredients. You'll do much of the work yourself, applying tips immediately. The pace suits beginners through to confident home cooks. By the end, you'll have made real dishes—not just watched someone else cook. Bring an appetite; the meal afterwards uses ingredients you've prepared.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. An apron is provided. The kitchen is fully accessible for wheelchair users. If you have serious health concerns, check with organisers beforehand. Recipe cards are posted to you after the course.
