Siena Small group Cooking Class in a Chianti Farm

About this tour

Learn to make fresh pasta and traditional Tuscan desserts at a working Chianti farmhouse run by an experienced Italian chef. This three-and-a-half-hour class covers the fundamentals of Tuscan cooking using seasonal ingredients sourced from the property itself. You'll prepare lunch from your own creations, paired with local wine, whilst taking in views across the rolling hills that define this corner of Tuscany. Perfect for those wanting genuine hands-on culinary knowledge rather than a polished demonstration.

What to expect

Expect flour under your fingernails and real instruction on dough consistency, rolling, and shaping. The chef walks you through each stage of pasta-making, then moves into dessert preparation—nothing fancy, just the recipes locals have used for generations. You'll cook your lunch together, then sit down to eat what you've made, with wine poured as you go. The farmhouse kitchen is functional rather than Instagram-ready, and the focus stays on learning technique rather than performance.
