Florence Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine

About this tour

Spend three hours in a Florence kitchen rolling and stuffing your own pasta while regional wine keeps flowing. You'll craft spinach and cheese ravioli and pappardelle from scratch, then move on to tiramisu, all under guidance from a local cook. Everything you make becomes lunch, eaten straightaway at a shared table with fellow participants.

Highlights

• Shape and fill spinach-cheese ravioli by hand
• Roll pappardelle ribbon pasta to proper thickness
• Layer and chill your own tiramisu dessert
• Unlimited Tuscan wine throughout the class
• Eat what you've cooked within the hour
• Small group, genuine kitchen setting

What to expect

You'll stand at a work counter with flour, eggs, and filling in front of you. The instructor shows technique once, then you repeat it—mistakes are part of the learning. Ravioli takes longer than expected; pappardelle is quicker once your hands get the rhythm. After cooking, you'll sit down to eat your pasta while it's still warm, dressed simply so you taste what you've made. Tiramisu waits in the fridge for dessert. Wine arrives early and stays on the table. Expect flour on your clothes and genuine conversation with whoever's cooking next to you.
