Pasta Making Class in Certaldo: Learn Fresh Pasta in 3 Hours

You make the pasta, you eat the pasta, you taste the wine that goes with it.

A three-hour pasta-making class in Certaldo where you learn to roll and shape fresh pasta (pici, tagliatelle, ravioli or gnocchi) in a local home, then sit down to eat your own dishes with traditional tiramisu and regional wine. Your host is a home cook from Cesarine, Italy's network of passionate cooks who teach from their own kitchens. Morning and afternoon departures are available. Public transportation reaches the venue.

The experience

You start with a panoramic aperitif, taking in views of the Tuscan hills before moving to the kitchen. Your host walks you through making fresh pasta step by step (the dough, the rolling, the shaping), and you do the work yourself with all ingredients already there. The class runs three hours, so there is time to learn without rushing and to ask questions as you go.

Once your pasta is ready, you sit down to eat it. The meal includes the dishes you've made, traditional Tuscan tiramisu, and a carefully selected local wine paired with each course. This is not a demonstration you watch from a stool. You are cooking in someone's home, tasting as you go, and the evening centers on the food you've prepared with your own hands.

Cesarine hosts the class: a network of home cooks across Italy who teach from their kitchens rather than commercial studios. The host speaks English or Italian, and the class is small enough that you get individual attention. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them to reach the venue.

Operated by Cesarine: Cooking Class

Is this one for you?Book the morning class if you want the afternoon free to explore Certaldo or the surrounding hills. Choose the afternoon class if you prefer a later start and want to spend the morning elsewhere in Tuscany. Either way, you're cooking in a home kitchen with a single host, not in a commercial studio, so the group stays small and the instruction stays personal.
