What to expect

Join one of the most authentic pasta cooking classes in Florence, held in a beautiful historic palace just steps from the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. This immersive Florence cooking class combines tradition, hands-on pasta making and a guided Tuscan wine tasting. Start your experience with a visit to the charming Pasta Museum, where an expert guide will show antique tools used for centuries to make fresh pasta and explain the fascinating history of Italian pasta making. Then it’s time for your hands-on pasta class in Florence. With the help of a professional instructor, you’ll learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch using a rolling pin and simple ingredients. Knead the dough and prepare classic shapes such as ravioli, tortelli and fettuccine. After the cooking class, sit down and enjoy the pasta you prepared together in a convivial Italian-style meal. The experience also includes dessert and a wine tasting of five organic Tuscan wines from our family farm, produced from traditional native grape varieties. Entrance to Pasta Museum and wine tasting require payment of €20 per person to be paid on site at the end of the experience by credit card to the museum association.

We will make 3 types of fresh pasta: fettuccine, ravioli and tortellini. At the end of the making class, we will eat the same, cooked directly by a professional chef. Each participant will prepare their pasta, then we will cook it in the same pot to share it with the rest of the group like an Italian family. The tomato sauce is prepared in advance because it has to cook for about 2 hours. While the sauce for ravioli and tortellini, butter & sage will be prepared in front of you by the teacher. We will, then, serve a dessert (chocolate salami) with limoncello and a booklet that will accompany your pasta future. At the end we offer a wine tasting of wines from our production and you will be able to buy them to ship to your country!

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
