Cooking Class at a Farmhouse in Val d'Orcia Tuscany

About this tour

Spend five hours at a working farmhouse in Val d'Orcia learning to prepare three classic Tuscan dishes from scratch. You'll roll pasta by hand, braise pork with root vegetables, and assemble tiramisù before sitting down to eat what you've cooked. Small groups mean proper attention from your instructor, and the countryside views from the kitchen won't hurt either.

Highlights

• Hand-roll fresh pasta in a farmhouse kitchen
• Roast pork and potatoes using traditional Tuscan methods
• Make tiramisù from first principles
• Eat your creations at a shared table
• Rolling Tuscan hills as your backdrop
• Small-group format with genuine instruction

What to expect

Arrive at the farmhouse and get straight into cooking. Your instructor will guide you through each dish, showing techniques rather than simply demonstrating them. Expect flour under your fingernails and a real sense of how Tuscan home cooking actually works—less fussy than restaurant food, more about quality ingredients and confidence. After you finish cooking, you'll sit down together to eat everything you've made, with time to chat and digest.
