Cooking class Cortona

About this tour

Learn to shape fresh pasta the way Bellini family members do, guided by the owners themselves at their organic farm near Cortona. Over four and a half hours, you'll work with flour and water, discovering techniques passed down through generations. Afterwards, sit down to eat the pasta you've made, paired with the farm's own wine and olive oil. It's hands-on cooking anchored in a real working landscape.

Highlights

• Shape fresh pasta using family techniques from generations past
• Work directly with Bellini family owners at their agriturismo
• Eat your own pasta paired with estate-produced wine and oil
• Tour the organic farm where ingredients are grown
• No restaurant plating—honest farm-to-table meal

What to expect

You'll arrive at the working farm and move straight into the kitchen. The owners walk you through mixing dough, kneading, and forming pasta by hand. They'll correct your grip, show you rhythm, explain why water and flour behave the way they do. It's tactile and sometimes messy. Once your pasta is ready, you'll gather at a table on the property and eat it with wine from the vineyard and oil from their trees. Expect a relaxed pace—this isn't about speed.
