Located in Panzano, just outside Greve in Chianti, a standout cooking class takes place in an authentic 1000-year-old Tuscan villa. The 3.5-hour experience combines hands-on pasta making with local wine tasting and includes a pleasant walk through the countryside.
We love this particular class for three reasons: expert local instructors share generations-old techniques, groups are kept small for personal attention, and vegetarian options are readily available. The historic villa setting, with its panoramic views of classic Chianti landscapes, adds an unforgettable backdrop to your culinary adventure.
