Tuscan Pasta Cooking Class with Brunello Wine Tasting in Chianti

You make the pasta, you taste the wine, you eat it all together.

A hands-on pasta cooking class in Chianti where you learn to shape authentic Tuscan pasta, explore a historic wine cellar, and taste Brunello di Montalcino from the wooden barrel. Lunch includes the pasta you made, mixed Tuscan appetizers, and dessert, paired with three organic wines. The class runs about three and a half hours with a live guide in English or Italian. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

You start by learning the techniques for rolling and shaping typical Tuscan pasta from someone who knows the region's methods. The class is hands-on, so you're doing the work, not watching a demonstration. Once you've finished, you move into the tasting and the meal. That's where the three organic wines come in: Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and a third selection. Part of the tasting happens in the historic cellar, where you get to sample wine straight from the wooden barrel, which is the detail most people remember.

Lunch brings together what you made and what you tasted. The menu includes mixed Tuscan cold cuts and cheese to start, then the fresh pasta you shaped during the class, then dessert. Everything is paired with the wines you've already tasted, so the flavors connect. The operator can accommodate dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), so let them know when you book if you need any adjustments.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to learn by doing rather than watching. You're shaping the pasta yourself, not observing a chef. The barrel tasting and the cellar tour add something most cooking classes don't offer, and eating the pasta you made while tasting the wines makes the whole experience connect.
