About this tour
Learn to make pasta and classic Italian dishes at a working Tuscan villa, blending techniques from both Tuscany and Apulia. This three-and-a-half-hour session teaches you to shape fresh pasta by hand before sitting down to eat what you've made, paired with wine and soft drinks. You'll work in the villa's kitchen with all equipment provided, finishing with coffee and a proper meal in the countryside.
Highlights
- Hand-roll fresh pasta using traditional regional methods
- Cook two distinct Italian regional dishes from scratch
- Eat your creations with wine in a historic villa setting
- Learn techniques you can replicate at home
- Included coffee and soft drinks throughout
What to expect
Arrive at the villa and jump straight into the kitchen. Your instructor walks you through pasta-making: mixing dough, kneading, and shaping by hand using authentic Tuscan and Apulian methods. You'll then prepare two dishes drawing from both regions' cuisines. The pace is hands-on rather than lecture-based—expect flour under your fingernails and real cooking. Once everything is ready, you sit together for lunch, with wine and soft drinks on hand. The meal is your own work, served in the villa's dining space.
Good to know
Three-and-a-half hours total, including prep, cooking, and eating. Infants and small children are welcome; prams fit in the villa and specialised infant seats are available. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting messy.
