This easy, 6-hour private experience is ideal for couples, friends, and families who want to connect with real Tuscan life.

👀 What to Expect

Your day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel, B&B, or private apartment, then a comfortable drive through the iconic landscapes of Chianti, with its cypress-lined roads, hillside vineyards, and silvery olive trees. On arrival at an authentic, family-run farm, you will be welcomed into a real Tuscan home, where the family produces their own excellent wine, extra virgin olive oil, and homemade pasta using ancient traditions.

The heart of the experience is the cooking class, personally guided by the Tuscan “mama”, who will share her family recipes and techniques. Side by side with her, you will prepare two types of fresh homemade pasta, such as ravioli, tagliatelle, or pappardelle, along with classic Tuscan bruschetta made with the farm’s own extra virgin olive oil, and a creamy homemade tiramisu for dessert. While adults focus on the traditional menu, children can enjoy making homemade cookies, turning the class into a playful and memorable moment for the whole family.

After cooking, you will sit down together for a relaxed, family-style lunch, savoring the dishes you have just prepared. Each course is paired with a guided tasting of five excellent family-produced wines, including Chianti, along with their fine extra virgin olive oil. A private lesson and intimate setting mean you can move at your own pace, ask questions, and truly connect with Tuscan hospitality before your chauffeur drives you back through the rolling hills, bringing your culinary journey to a gentle close.
