This down-to-earth cooking class, set on a working Chianti farm, delivers exactly what food-loving travelers want: authentic, hands-on Italian cooking instruction without the tourist traps. A local chef teaches time-tested techniques for making ravioli, pici pasta, and chocolate salami during the practical 4-hour session. We love that classes are intentionally kept small, letting everyone get their hands in the dough while sipping regional wines. The terrace dining finale, where you’ll eat what you’ve made, caps off this straightforward Italian cooking experience perfectly.
