Step-by-step itinerary

Hands-on pizza and gelato class

• Join cooking class with professional chef
• Learn to stretch and shape pizza dough
• Create flavorful pizza toppings
• Whip up creamy gelato
• Enjoy meal with local Chianti wines
• Relax on picturesque Tuscan farm

The experience

The class starts with pizza: you'll learn how to stretch and shape the dough, choose from fresh toppings, and bake it in the farm's oven. Then you move to gelato, where you'll whip up a creamy batch by hand. A professional chef walks you through both, correcting technique and answering questions as you work. The whole hands-on part takes a couple of hours, leaving time to rest before dinner.

Once your pizza and gelato are ready, you sit down to eat them on the farm itself. The meal comes with local Chianti wines and other drinks, so you taste what you've made in the setting where you made it. The farm sits in the Chianti countryside, so the backdrop is part of the experience: rustic, quiet, and built around food and wine rather than rushing through stops.

All ingredients are provided, and the class welcomes families with infants (strollers and specialized seats are available) and travelers who need gluten-free options. You'll need to arrange your own transport to the farm. The operator does not include pickup from your hotel or a rental car.

Is this one for you?The class happens on a Chianti farm, so you'll need to arrange your own transport there: a taxi or ride-share works if you don't have a car. That setup means the farm stays intimate and focused on cooking and eating rather than shuttling groups in and out, and it keeps the price lower than a tour with pickup included.
