San Gimignano Cooking Class: Make Tagliatelle & Tiramisu

Roll pasta dough, layer tiramisu, taste the meal you built

A three-hour cooking class in San Gimignano where you make tagliatelle pasta and tiramisu dessert from scratch in a home kitchen, with a chef guiding you through each step. The class includes red wine and bottled water. English and Italian guides are available. Wheelchair accessible, and vegetarian options can be arranged.

The experience

You arrive at a home restaurant in San Gimignano and step into a cozy kitchen built with rustic Tuscan charm. The chef walks you through making tagliatelle by hand: rolling out the dough, cutting it to the right width, understanding how the pasta holds sauce. While you work, the kitchen opens onto views of the vineyards and olive groves that surround the medieval town. This is not a demonstration you watch. You're the one with flour on your hands, learning the motions that turn simple ingredients into something you recognize as real Italian pasta.

After the pasta comes tiramisu, and you build that too: layering, timing, tasting as you go. The class runs three hours total, which gives you time to move without rushing and to ask the chef questions as they come up. Red wine and water are poured as you cook, so you're tasting what locals drink with the food you're making. When everything is ready, you sit down and eat the tagliatelle and tiramisu you just made, still in the kitchen with those vineyard views.

The class runs in English or Italian depending on the group, and the kitchen is wheelchair accessible. If you eat vegetarian, let the operator know when you book and they'll adjust the menu to match.

Is this one for you?Book this class if you want to learn a technique you can use at home, not just taste something once. The three hours gives you real time to practice rolling pasta and understand how it works, so you leave knowing how to make it again.
