Cooking class in Brescia: Handmade pasta and wine

Make four kinds of pasta by hand, then eat what you've made

A hands-on cooking class in a Brescia garden where you learn to shape tagliatelle, ravioli, gnocchi and crêpes from a professional local chef, then sit down to a meal you've prepared yourself. The class runs three hours and includes aperitifs, prosecco, your homemade pasta with seasonal flavors, and tiramisu or an alternative dessert. Minimum age is 13. Wine is included for guests 18 and over. Tell the chef in advance if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions.

The experience

You start with a trio of aperitifs and a glass of prosecco, then move to the hands-on work: shaping tagliatelle, ravioli, gnocchi, crêpes and malfatti under the chef's instruction. The class teaches techniques you can repeat at home, grounded in traditional Italian recipes with a creative edge. A professional local chef leads the session, so you're learning from someone who cooks this way every day, not from a script.

After you've made the pasta, you sit down on the veranda overlooking the garden to eat it. The meal centers on your own work (the pasta you shaped, dressed with seasonal flavors) followed by tiramisu, caprese cake or apple cake depending on what you choose. The setting and the pace are built around conversation and connection. The operator describes it as the kind of experience that brings people together through food.
