Florence; Cooking Course Pasta/Tiramisu and Lots of Wine

About this tour

Spend two and a half hours in a Florence kitchen learning to roll and shape pasta by hand, then master the layered construction of tiramisu. You'll work through both dishes at your own pace with guidance from a chef, then sit down to eat your creations paired with Italian wine. The afternoon balances instruction with plenty of banter and a proper meal at the end.

Highlights

• Hand-roll fresh pasta from scratch using traditional methods
• Build tiramisu the way Italians actually make it
• Eat lunch featuring dishes you've prepared yourself
• Wine pairings throughout the class
• Small group setting with informal atmosphere

What to expect

You'll start with a brief introduction, then move straight to making pasta—kneading dough, rolling it thin, and cutting it into shape. Next comes tiramisu: layering mascarpone, espresso, and ladyfingers with precision. The chef walks you through techniques without hovering; there's room for mistakes and learning. Wine flows as you work. Once everything's done, you sit down properly to eat what you've made, with the chef demonstrating plating and final touches at your table.
