Pizza & Tiramisù Cooking Class in Milan with Wine Tasting

Roll dough, layer cream, taste wine — all in one afternoon in Milan

A two-hour hands-on cooking class in Milan where you make authentic Neapolitan pizza and chocolate tiramisù from scratch under the guidance of a professional chef. You'll learn the secrets of Italian dough, sauce and baking technique, ask questions about ingredients and traditions, and finish by sitting down to eat the dishes you prepared alongside a wine tasting of local reds and whites. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available.

The Experience

Two hours, two dishes, one chef. You start by making tiramisù — layering cream, cocoa and coffee-soaked ladyfingers the way it's done in Italy — then move to pizza dough, learning how to knead it properly and what mistakes most home cooks make. The chef walks you through the tomato sauce next, then you top and bake your own Neapolitan pizza while the wine tasting begins. Everything you need is there: aprons, pans, pots, and the ingredients themselves.

The class runs in English with a professional chef who shares insider tips on the best local markets, restaurants and food products worth bringing home. You'll get answers to any question about Italian recipes, techniques and why certain combinations work — the kind of detail that sticks with you after the class ends. Soft drinks and bottled water are included throughout.

At the end, you sit down to eat the pizza and tiramisù you made, paired with a guided tasting of quality Italian red and white wines (available from age 18). The wine tasting is part of the experience, not an add-on, and it turns the meal into something more than just lunch — it's the point where you taste what you've learned.

Is this one for you?You're hands-on in the kitchen the whole time — making, not watching — so this suits anyone who wants to learn by doing rather than observing. The shared class format means you'll cook alongside other travelers, which works well if you enjoy that energy; if you prefer one-on-one instruction or a private group, ask about alternatives when you book.

Top questions

What exactly do I make in this cooking class?

You make two dishes: a chocolate tiramisù from scratch, layering the components step by step, and a Neapolitan-style pizza with your choice of toppings, which you'll bake yourself. Both are traditional Italian recipes taught by the chef.

Is this class hands-on, or do I watch the chef cook?

It's fully hands-on — you make both dishes yourself from start to finish. The chef guides you through each step, shows you the techniques and common mistakes to avoid, but you're the one rolling the dough, layering the tiramisù and baking the pizza.

Can I do this class if I'm vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are always available, so you can adapt both the pizza and the tiramisù to your diet while learning the same techniques.

What's included in the two hours?

The class includes all equipment and ingredients, soft drinks and bottled water, the food you prepare, and a guided wine tasting with local Italian red and white wines (wine is available from age 18). You eat what you cooked at the end of the class.

Is the chef fluent in English?

Yes, the class is taught in English by a professional, native Italian chef who can answer questions about recipes, ingredients and cooking traditions throughout the two hours.

What should I know about bringing children?

Infants can sit on an adult's lap during the class, and small children can be brought in a pram or stroller. The hands-on cooking is designed for adults, but families can attend together.
