What to expect
Arrive at a traditional Sienese kitchen where a chef guides you through four courses. You'll work at shared stations, learning to hand-roll tagliatelle and stuff courgette blossoms with locally-sourced ricotta. The wine-braised meat simmers while you finish earlier courses. No prior experience needed; the pace accommodates beginners and those with some skill. After cooking wraps, you sit together and eat each course properly, wine in hand. Expect flour on your hands, genuine conversation with other guests, and the satisfaction of eating what you've made.
Good to know
Dietary requirements are accommodated with advance notice. Transport to the kitchen isn't included; arrange independently or ask the host for recommendations. The space is fully accessible for wheelchair users. Chef tips aren't built into the ticket price. Bring an appetite and wear clothes you don't mind getting messy.
