Cooking Class in Tuscan farmhouse from Siena
Overview
We will be hosted in an organic farm, in the heart of Chianti Classico area. A typical farmhouse where a Tuscan family lives since many generations. It’s a charming set up, surrounded by rows of vines, olive groves, flowers and vegetable gardens. Here we will have to roll our sleeves up and start cooking our meal. With the help of a
local Tuscan Lady you will learn traditional secrets of our cuisine as well as cooking techniques. Success is
guaranteed.
Starters like bruschettas and crostini, cold cuts, cheeses and their pairing with honeys and jams. Pasta, and its fascinating world. We will make our own fresh home-made pasta from scratches, the old-fashioned way with a wooden rolling pin! Since any great meal ends with a dessert, we will be making something traditional to be
enjoyed at the end of our lunch too.
A tasting of various wines
Inclusions

The cooking class was so fun and now my husband and I can make homemade pasta. Our lunch with the items we made was delicious. It felt like for an entire morning we were transported back in time and really got a chance to experience the Italian culture.A private tour and cooking class of a Tuscan olive farm and vineyard.
