Cooking Class with Wine Tasting in Assisi

Make three kinds of handmade pasta, a sauce, and a full meal you'll taste at the end

A hands-on cooking class in Assisi where you learn to prepare traditional Umbrian dishes (three types of fresh pasta, a tomato sauce, appetizers, a second course and dessert) under a chef's guidance, then sit down to eat everything you've made, paired with local wines. The class runs two hours and includes lunch. Children from age 4 are welcome. The space is wheelchair accessible.

The experience

What makes this different from watching someone cook is that you're the one at the counter. A chef guides you through making three different kinds of handmade pasta using techniques that have held in Umbria for generations, shows you how to build a tomato sauce, and walks you through the other courses. You work with seasonal ingredients sourced locally, so what you're handling is what the region actually grows. The class happens in Assisi's center, in a space designed to feel warm and informal: the opposite of a formal cooking school.

After you've finished cooking, you sit down and eat everything you've prepared. The meal is paired with a selection of local wines, so you taste how the region's food and wine fit together. Lunch is included in the price. The whole experience runs two hours, which is long enough to move through the work without feeling rushed but short enough to fit into a day that includes other things.
