Cooking class on fresh pasta in Asti with wine tasting

Make pasta with your hands, then sit down to eat it

A hands-on cooking class in Asti where you learn to prepare fresh pasta step by step, working with a professional chef in a small group, then taste the dishes you made alongside Piedmontese wine. The class runs three hours, welcomes children from age seven, and is led in English or Italian. No cooking experience is required.

The experience

You arrive at an elegant Piedmontese kitchen in downtown Asti ready to spend an afternoon as a working chef, not watching one. A Pro Chef Ambassador walks you through the fundamentals of fresh pasta (how to work the dough, shape it, use the electric pasta machine) using techniques from the Italian tradition but explained for beginners. You work with selected raw materials from the region, your hands in the dough the whole time, in a relaxed and convivial setting with a small group.

The class builds toward a shared table. After you finish cooking, you sit down together to taste what you prepared: Russian salad, plin dumplings, fettuccine Alfredo, and gourmet hazelnut tiramisu, paired with local Piedmontese wine. The experience is designed around quality time and the memory you take away, not rushing through steps, but living, for a few hours, the rhythm of an Italian kitchen.

Bottled water and all meals are included. You choose at checkout whether to add wine tasting to your booking. The class runs three hours and welcomes children from age seven. A guide leads the session in English or Italian, and the space is wheelchair accessible.

Is this one for you?The small-group format and three-hour length suit an afternoon when you want to slow down and learn something with your hands, rather than rush through a list of sights. If you're traveling with children seven and older, they work at the same table and eat what they make.
