Siena Pasta Class with Brunello Tasting and Lunch

You make the pasta, then drink wine from the wooden barrel.

A hands-on pasta-making class in Siena where you learn Tuscan techniques, explore a historic wine cellar, and taste three organic wines (including Brunello di Montalcino drawn straight from the barrel) before eating the homemade pasta, appetizers and dessert you've prepared. Pickup and dropoff from Siena hotels included. Minimum age 18.

The experience

You start in Siena and get picked up from your hotel, then head to the cooking space where a guide in English or Italian walks you through making fresh pasta by hand. The techniques are the ones used for authentic Tuscan dishes, and you work with real ingredients the whole time. After you've shaped and prepared the pasta, the class moves into the tasting experience: you visit the historic cellar and sample three organic wines, including Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino. One of the standout moments is tasting wine straight from the wooden barrel: a detail most cooking classes skip.

Once the tasting wraps up, you sit down to eat what you made. The meal includes mixed Tuscan appetizers, the homemade pasta you prepared during the class, and dessert, all paired with the wines you just tasted. The whole experience runs about two and a half hours from start to finish. Dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be accommodated if you mention them when booking. At the end, you get a ride back to your Siena hotel.
