Siena Cooking Class: Make Pasta & Tiramisu on a Chianti Farm

Make fresh pasta and tiramisu, then sit down to lunch in the Chianti hills

A 3.5-hour small-group cooking class at a traditional Tuscan farmhouse near Siena, where you learn to make handmade pasta, bruschetta and tiramisu from a professional Italian chef. You prepare the dishes yourself using fresh ingredients, then enjoy the meal you've made with wine and water while looking out over the Chianti landscape.

The experience

The class runs 3.5 hours at a working Chianti farmhouse, and you spend most of it in the kitchen with an Italian chef who walks you through making tortellini ripieni, bruschetta and crostini with fresh ingredients, and finishes with tiramisu. The chef speaks English, Spanish or Italian depending on the group. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work yourself, building the skills to take these dishes home.

Once the cooking is done, you move to the table and eat what you've made. Lunch includes the pasta, bruschetta and tiramisu you prepared, plus Chianti wine and water. The farmhouse sits in the Chianti hills, so the meal comes with that view. Parking is free on the property.

What’s included

• All fresh ingredients needed for the dishes.
• lunch based on what you cook.
• Chianti wine and water.
• free parking.
