About this tour
Spend three-and-a-half hours in a Bologna home kitchen learning to make fresh pasta from scratch with practising cooks. You'll colour dough with vegetables like beetroot and spinach, shape everything from tagliatelle to tortellini by hand and machine, then eat what you've made alongside local wine. This is a hands-on session, not a demonstration—you're doing the work.
Highlights
- Colour pasta dough with beetroot, basil, spinach and other vegetables
- Roll, cut and shape tagliatelle, fusilli, farfalle by hand
- Master filled pastas: tortellini, ravioli, tortelloni
- Learn traditional pasta machine technique
- Eat your creations with local wine pairing
- Small group in a working home kitchen
What to expect
You'll arrive at a private home and get straight into making pasta. The instructors walk you through colouring dough with different ingredients, then you'll practise rolling, cutting and shaping various types—some by hand, some using the traditional machine. Filled pastas like tortellini take technique but you'll get there. Midway through or after, you'll sit down to a proper meal of what you've prepared, served with regional wines. It's relaxed and practical, not fussy. Expect flour on your clothes and a real sense of having made something.
Good to know
The workshop happens in a private home where cats live—relevant if you have allergies. Tell the organisers about dietary requirements in advance. You can bring prams for infants and service animals are welcome. Public transport is nearby if you don't have your own way there.
