Master The Art Of Traditional Pasta Making With An Expert Chef In The Chianti


Unlock the secrets of authentic Italian cooking by learning to prepare fresh pasta from scratch under the guidance of a professional chef. During this hands-on class, you will master the techniques required to create two traditional Tuscan pasta shapes: tagliatelle and pici. You will learn the essential steps of making the dough, rolling it out by hand, and pairing each shape with the perfect traditional sauce to ensure a truly genuine and delicious culinary result.


Following the cooking session, your experience continues with an educational wine tasting led by a local expert. You will explore the connection between the Poggio ai Laghi wines and the surrounding region, sampling a variety of labels including the Lucilla Chianti Classico DOCG and the Oletta Chianti Riserva. This segment of the tour provides a deeper understanding of how local terroir influences the character of the wines, enhancing your overall appreciation for the art of Italian viticulture.


The experience concludes with a full meal where you will savor the very pasta dishes you prepared during the lesson. The lunch or dinner is accompanied by a selection of signature balsamic vinegars and artisanal extra virgin olive oils, such as the intense chili pepper oil. You will also enjoy a starter of traditional Tuscan cured meats, including finocchiona and prosciutto, served with pecorino cheese and fresh tomato bruschetta, providing a complete and satisfying dining experience.


This interactive class is designed for anyone looking to bring a piece of Italy home with them through the acquisition of new culinary skills. By combining the practical art of pasta making with a sophisticated wine tasting, the program offers a comprehensive look at the local lifestyle. It is an ideal activity for those who value hands-on learning and wish to enjoy a high-quality meal in a beautiful, authentic setting within the heart of Tuscany.

    Just completed their 4 week training and can’t say enough good things about the team and the course. It was fun and full on, every day was packed full. Lots of great guest teachers. Something for everyone. The other students were wonderful. I now have so many ideas recipes and skills. My yoga students are already reaping the benefits, and it’s only a few days since it finished. Definitely worth the investment of time and money.

    I just completed the 4 WEEK ESSENTIAL SKILLS COURSE and what a blast that was! The school is state of the art with a station for every student and absolutely everything you need equipment wise. It includes a very effective lecture/demo area, work area, and dining area. The real value in this school is the quality of the instructors. They are all top culinary professionals with a wealth of experience in all aspects of food. The learning experience is very hands on and of a very high caliber. The environment exudes such a positive energy and enables one with great confidence in cooking. The evening and one day courses are equally beneficial and enjoyable. Wish I was doing it all over again. Well done Gerry, Grainne, Cindy, Colin, Antonio, Jose, Mateus et al. Amazing professionals. Highly recommended.

    I recently completed a month-long course and it was a great experience. Having done a week-long course a few years ago, I was eager to return, and it didn't disappoint. Gerry, Grainne, and Cindy were all incredibly patient and informative, and they were generous with their time and expertise and were supportive of the differing skill levels amongst the group. The ingredients used were always top-quality, which made a real difference. The course also included several demos from guest chefs with expertise in different cuisines, which were all excellent. There was also a fantastic atmosphere among the group, and it was great to share the experience with others who were just as passionate about cooking.
