Discover the heart of Italian cuisine in this hands-on cooking class nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany. You’ll be greeted by your local hosts — warm, passionate chefs who will welcome you like family and guide you through every step of this culinary journey. You’ll start by learning the art of fresh pasta-making, using simple, high-quality ingredients like farm-fresh eggs and locally milled flour. Roll up your sleeves and dive into the process as you mix, knead, and shape the dough by hand, crafting classic shapes like pappardelle, ravioli and tortelli. You’ll also learn how to make traditional sauces that pair perfectly with your pasta — from velvety tomato sauces to rich pesto to butter and sage. Next, it’s time for homemade Italian gelato. Discover the secrets behind gelato’s smooth, creamy texture and how it differs from ice cream. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients like fruits from the garden, rich cocoa, hazelnut and pistacchio paste, you’ll make your own batch of gelato under the guidance of your instructor. After all your hard work in the kitchen, savor your freshly made pasta and gelato with plenty of Tuscan wine as you take in panoramic views of the countryside.

The course was fun and the location was spectacular. Our group was bigger than expected (28 people) but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There were several other groups coming and going while we were there and it felt quite busy. There was plenty of wine and the food was delicious.

This pasta- and gelato-making class was such a highlight of our Firenze trip! We made three different kinds of pasta + gelato flavor and now we can’t wait to recreate them at home. (They aimed to have our group of ~30 make different flavors so we could sample several after the lunch). After a couple of days of bad weather, this experience truly saved our Firenze holiday, it was our saving grace. We had so much fun, learned a ton, and the setting was absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended!

This was such a highlight in our trip. Carmela, Max, and Livio were absolutely stunning. They really got the whole group engaged in the entire process. Every step of the process was explained so beautifully. The food turned out amazing, we couldn’t believe it was our own production. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

My friend and I had a great time learning to make pasta and gelato. The venue is beautiful and even though it rained a little they were able to accommodate everyone comfortably inside. Cris, Francesco and Carmela were fantastic hosts and we learnt a lot and ate so much delicious food!

What an amazing experience! The location has an amazing view of Firenze! The cooking class was exciting and with Lucia, Francesco, Cris and all team kind explaining and support, we could learn the base of traditional pasta and gelato. Everything tasted deliciously good followed by very good wine! Appreciate celebrating my birthday having this amazing experience! I highly recommend:)
