About this tour
Learn to build and bake proper Tuscan pizza from local pizzaiolos in San Gimignano's medieval heart. Over three hours, you'll work with your hands to stretch dough, top generously, and pull wood-fired results from the oven alongside a small group. Red wine and water flow freely as you eat what you've made, surrounded by countryside views that explain why this corner of Italy became famous for doing simple things exceptionally well.
Highlights
- Hands-on dough kneading and shaping with local chefs
- Wood-fired oven baking in a medieval Tuscan village
- Eat your own pizzas straight from the heat
- Red wine and water included throughout
- Small group format, intimate atmosphere
What to expect
Arrive ready to work. You'll spend the first hour learning dough technique—stretching, folding, understanding gluten—then move to toppings and assembly. The chef will demonstrate proper oven management before you slide your creation in. Expect flour under your nails, heat on your face, and the smell of wood smoke. Once baked, you'll gather to eat together while sipping included wine. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race. Bring an appetite and wear clothes you don't mind getting marked.
Good to know
Fully wheelchair accessible with adapted facilities. Families welcome; infants can use prams or specialised seats. Red wine available only to guests aged 21+. Gratuities not included. Three hours total, mostly indoors around the oven and prep tables.
