Private Pasta Class at Local's Home in Turin by Cesarine

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Turinese cook's kitchen for a three-hour hands-on pasta workshop. Your host—part of Cesarine's network of home cooks across Italy—teaches three signature regional pasta dishes from scratch. You'll work at your own station, get the technique down, then sit to eat what you've made with local wines. It's cooking class meets dinner party, held in someone's actual home rather than a commercial kitchen.

Highlights

• Learn three authentic Piedmont pasta recipes from a local cook
• Prepare dishes at your own workstation with all equipment provided
• Taste your creations paired with regional red and white wines
• Eat in the Cesarina's home, not a commercial venue
• Includes water, coffee, and full course tasting
• Small private group in a residential setting

What to expect

You'll arrive at your host's home and be shown to the kitchen. The Cesarina starts by demonstrating each pasta shape and sauce, then guides you through making them yourself—expect some flour on your clothes and the smell of fresh pasta filling the space. She'll share techniques passed through her family, correcting your hand position or dough consistency as you go. After cooking, you move to the table where everything you've made is laid out with local wines. The meal is relaxed; your host eats with you, answering questions and talking about food traditions in Turin.
