Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Chianti: Make 3 Dishes

Three hours making what you'll actually eat, not watching someone else cook

A small-group pasta and tiramisu class in a Cesarina's home in Chianti where you roll fresh sfoglia by hand, make two pasta types from scratch, and prepare tiramisu. The class runs three hours with a maximum of 12 people, includes an Italian aperitivo, wine, water and coffee, and ends with tasting everything you've made. Your host is a home cook from Cesarine, Italy's network of local culinary hosts who teach in their own kitchens.

The experience

Three hours is enough time to learn what matters: how to roll sfoglia (fresh pasta sheet) by hand, how to shape two different pasta types, and how to build tiramisu layer by layer. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work in a Cesarina's home kitchen in Chianti, with her guiding you through the steps and sharing the techniques her family has used for years. The class stays under a dozen people, so there's room to ask questions and room to move without crowding.

You start with an Italian aperitivo (prosecco and nibbles) to settle in. Then the cooking begins. The pasta work comes first: rolling the dough thin enough to see your hand through it, then cutting and shaping. You'll taste both pasta types you've made, dressed simply so the pasta itself is the point. Tiramisu follows, and by the end of three hours you've made something complete enough to understand why these dishes matter in Italian cooking. Wine, water and coffee come throughout, included in the price.

The Cesarina hosts her class in her own home, not a commercial kitchen, and she's chosen by Cesarine for her skill and her willingness to open her doors. Public transportation reaches the location, so you don't need a car. The class runs in English or Italian depending on who's booked.
