About this tour
Learn to cook like a Tuscan in a working organic farmhouse deep in Chianti Classico, starting from Siena. Over five hours, a local cook guides you through making fresh pasta by hand, traditional starters, and a proper dessert, then you sit down to eat what you've prepared alongside local wines. The farmhouse sits among vineyards and olive groves where the family has lived for generations, and a driver collects you from Siena and brings you back.

- Prepare bruschettas, crostini, and house-made charcuterie pairings

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working organic farm where a Tuscan cook meets you in the kitchen. Expect to get your hands involved—rolling pasta dough, assembling crostini, learning which cheeses go with which honeys. The cook shares practical techniques rather than restaurant theory. After an hour or so of cooking, you'll sit at a table to eat everything you've made, course by course, with wine poured from the property. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a rushed demo but an actual meal you've built together.
Good to know
Vegetarian options available if you notify when booking. Prams and stroller-friendly. A driver and guide handles transport from Siena, so no need to navigate yourself. Wear clothes you don't mind flour and olive oil on. The farmhouse is a real family home, not a commercial kitchen setup.
