Harvest & Flavor: Pastamaking Class/Wine Tasting - Countryside

About this tour

Head into the Roman countryside for a hands-on pasta workshop paired with local wine. A professional chef guides you through crafting traditional shapes from scratch, working with flour and eggs at a pace that lets techniques sink in. You'll start at a nearby winery to understand the region's viticulture, then move to the kitchen for the main event. Lunch follows—naturally, the pasta you've made—alongside wines sampled earlier. Five hours total, transport included from Rome.

Highlights

• Roll and shape pasta dough under chef's instruction
• Tour operating winery, taste regional wines
• Eat the pasta you've made for lunch
• Private transport to and from Rome
• Small-group setting, countryside vineyard setting

What to expect

The morning begins with a winery visit where you'll learn what grows in these hills and how it ferments. After tasting a few wines, you'll meet your chef at the kitchen. Expect to stand at a work table, hands in dough, learning to judge texture and hydration rather than following strict measurements. You'll make at least two or three pasta shapes—possibly tagliatelle, pappardelle, or ravioli depending on the day's menu. There's no rushing; the chef works at teaching pace. Once finished, you'll sit down to a proper lunch with your creations and the wines you tasted earlier.
