Experience an authentic Tuscan cooking class in the historic countryside of San Gimignano, hosted by Massimo, sommelier and cooking experience host.
The experience takes place at Casalchino, a historic rural estate situated along the ancient Via Francigena route, surrounded by vineyards, cypress trees, rolling hills, and panoramic Tuscan landscapes.
In a relaxed and convivial small-group setting, you will learn how to prepare fresh, handmade pasta using local and seasonal ingredients, while discovering Tuscan traditions, local wines, and the simple hospitality of the countryside.
During the class, we will prepare a traditional Tuscan menu together, including:
Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil
Handmade egg tagliatelle
Seasonal Tuscan sauce
Homemade tiramisu
At the end of the class, everyone gathers around the table for a shared Tuscan lunch, enjoying the dishes prepared during the experience, paired with local wines such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Chianti Colli Senesi, along with water and coffee.
From the panoramic location of Casalchino, the view sweeps across the Val d’Elsa countryside and the Chianti hills, creating an authentic and relaxed atmosphere designed for travelers seeking to experience the most genuine side of Tuscany.
