What to expect

You'll arrive at the farmhouse kitchen ready to work. Expect hands-on instruction as you prepare pasta, sauces, and other regional specialities under guidance. The focus is practical—learning how things are actually made, not just watching. Once everything's cooked, you'll move to the dining room to eat together as a group. The ambiance matters here; it's about savouring food in a proper setting with the people you've just cooked alongside. Allow four hours total, including prep, cooking, and the meal itself.
