Pasta and Tiramisu class in Valpolicella: Make two fresh pastas

Roll pasta dough by hand, then layer tiramisu from scratch

A hands-on pasta and tiramisu class in Valpolicella held in a local home cook's kitchen, where you learn to roll sfoglia by hand and prepare two kinds of fresh pasta from scratch, then make the iconic tiramisu. The class runs three hours and includes an Italian aperitivo, the dishes you prepare, and local wines. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. You choose a morning or afternoon departure.

The experience

You start with an Italian aperitivo (prosecco and nibbles), then move into the kitchen with your host, a local home cook from Cesarine, the network of passionate cooks who open their homes across Italy to teach regional family recipes. The class centers on what you do: rolling sfoglia, the fresh pasta dough, by hand, then shaping two different pasta types from scratch. After the pasta work, you move on to tiramisu, layering it together in the traditional way.

Once everything is made, you sit down to taste it all. The meal includes the two pastas and tiramisu you prepared, paired with a selection of local wines, water and coffee. The whole experience runs three hours. Vegetarian and gluten-free versions of the dishes are available if you need them, and your host speaks English or Italian depending on the group.

You can book either the morning or afternoon time slot depending on what fits your schedule in the region. Public transportation options are nearby if you're traveling without a car.
