Private Chianti Cooking Class and Wine Experience

A hands-on culinary journey through the heart of Tuscany, guided by a true Tuscan family.


This Chianti cooking class brings you inside a working family farm where generations of Tuscan tradition come alive through handmade pasta, fresh bruschetta, and carefully selected wines. Over six hours, you cook, taste, and share a meal in a setting that cannot be found in any restaurant.

Your day unfolds across three distinct experiences woven into a single, unhurried visit. The rolling vineyards and olive groves of the Chianti region set the backdrop as you arrive at a farm that produces its own wine, extra virgin olive oil, and pasta following recipes passed down through the family.

The cooking lesson is led personally by the Tuscan host, who guides you through each preparation at a relaxed pace suited to your group. Adults work side by side with the family in the kitchen, while children are welcome to join a separate, engaging cookie-making activity that keeps younger guests just as invested in the experience.

A family-style lunch closes the morning, with every dish prepared by your own hands served alongside five wines produced on the estate. The meal is unhurried, the conversation genuine, and the setting entirely private.

Experience Highlights

Cook inside an authentic family farmhouse in the Chianti hills, surrounded by working vineyards and olive groves.

Sample five estate-grown Chianti wines paired with food during a guided tasting that accompanies your lunch.

Enjoy a fully private lesson with personal attention from the host, ensuring a relaxed and customized pace for your group.

Private door-to-door pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in a comfortable vehicle.

Family-friendly format with a dedicated children's cookie-making activity running alongside the adult cooking class.
