These intimate cooking classes bring Tuscan home cooking to life in beautiful Montepulciano. Small groups (8-10 people) work with local chefs to create handmade pasta, traditional sauces, and classics like gnocchi and tiramisu. All ingredients are fresh and organic, sourced from nearby farms. We especially love the home-hosted options, where you’ll cook in a family kitchen while sipping local wines and enjoying countryside views.
