Pasta & Wine Class: Make Ravioli near the Dolomites

You knead and shape the dough yourself, then sit down to eat the ravioli you just made.

A hands-on ravioli-making class in Trento near the Dolomites where you learn to mix pasta dough, prepare regional fillings and shape classic ravioli from a local Italian cook. After your pasta cooks, you taste it with traditional sauce and regional wine, plus a small aperitivo with local snacks beforehand. The class runs two hours and is hosted by Cesarine, Italy's network of home cooks, with instruction available in English or Italian.

The experience

You'll spend the first part of the class learning the fundamentals: mixing and kneading pasta dough by hand, preparing the regional filling, and shaping ravioli the way a local cook does it. The instructor is a skilled Italian home cook who walks you through each step. This is not a demonstration. You're doing the work yourself, which is why the class stays small and why the pace stays manageable whether you've cooked before or not.

While your ravioli cooks, you'll have an aperitivo with local snacks and learn about the Dolomites' culinary traditions directly from someone who knows them. Then you sit down to the meal: your freshly made ravioli served with a traditional sauce and paired with a glass of regional wine. The whole experience runs two hours, and public transportation options are available nearby if you need them.
