Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Montepulciano: Cook in a Local Home

Cook pasta and tiramisu in a Montepulciano kitchen, then eat what you made

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class in a Montepulciano home where you learn two pasta recipes and tiramisu from a Cesarina host, then sit down to taste your dishes with local wines. The class runs three hours and is open to families with children of any age. English and Italian guides are available.

The experience

You arrive at a local home in Montepulciano and spend the next three hours cooking alongside a Cesarina: a member of Italy's oldest network of home cooks, now spread across more than 120 cities. She teaches you two pasta recipes and tiramisu, the kind of dishes her own family has made for years. You handle the dough, the layering, the techniques that turn simple ingredients into the food people travel for. The Cesarina reveals the tricks that make the difference: how to know when the pasta is the right texture, how to build the tiramisu so it holds together, what the local wines pair with.

When the cooking is done, you sit at her table with water, wine and coffee, and taste everything you made. The meal is either lunch or dinner depending on which option you choose at checkout. This is not a performance you watch. It is a skill you practice in someone's working kitchen, the way the food actually gets made at home.

• Private instruction from a Cesarina host in her Montepulciano home.
