About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in a home kitchen in Asti for a three-hour pasta workshop with a local cook who'll walk you through three regional recipes from scratch. You'll work at your own station, hands in dough, then sit down to eat what you've made with Piedmont wines. This is run by Cesarine, a network of home cooks across Italy who cook in their own kitchens, not tourist setups.
Highlights
- Make three authentic Asti pasta dishes from scratch
- Cook at your own workstation with full ingredients provided
- Taste your finished pasta with local red and white wines
- Learn regional techniques directly from a home cook
- Small group or private class in a local's kitchen
What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and get straight into making pasta. They'll demonstrate each recipe, then you'll do the work—mixing, kneading, shaping—at your own bench with everything laid out. Expect flour on your hands and a proper workout if you're making fresh egg pasta by hand. The host talks you through the why behind each step, not just the what. Once everything's cooked, you'll eat together at their table with wine, tasting the results of your labour while they share stories about the food and the region.
Good to know
Three hours includes both cooking and eating, so come hungry. Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. The kitchen is in someone's home, not a commercial space, so it's intimate and informal. Public transport gets you nearby if you don't have a car.
