San Gimignano Pizza Making & Wine Tasting Vineyard Class

Create three classic Italian pizzas paired with rich Tuscan wines amid vineyard views.

This hands-on pizza-making class at a charming winery in San Gimignano teaches you to prepare Pizza Margherita, Pizza Napoli and Pizza Quattro Stagioni from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside guided tastings of the vineyard's own wines and olive oils, finishing with housemade dessert and dessert wine. The class runs about two hours with a live English-speaking instructor and accommodates dietary needs with advance notice.

The experience

If you have a free afternoon in Tuscany and want to do something with your hands instead of just walking through another town, this class gives you the setup: a working vineyard in San Gimignano, a chef who walks you through the dough, the toppings and the oven timing, and three pizzas you actually make yourself. You knead the dough, decide where the tomato and mozzarella go, and slide your own pie into the oven. The menu moves from Pizza Margherita (tomato, mozzarella and basil) through Pizza Napoli with anchovies and capers, to Pizza Quattro Stagioni layered with mushrooms, artichokes, olives and prosciutto.

Between courses, you taste the vineyard's own wines and olive oils with guidance on what you're tasting. The class ends with housemade dessert paired with a Tuscan dessert wine. Everything you make, you eat, and the whole thing takes about two hours. The vineyard is wheelchair accessible, and the kitchen can work around dietary restrictions if you mention them when you book.
