Experience the flavors of Tuscany with an authentic hands-on cooking class in San Gimignano. Set in a beautiful Tuscan winery, this class will teach you how to make traditional recipes from scratch, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and classic Italian techniques.
Your culinary journey begins with an antipasto of three types of bruschetta:
- Fettunta, the purest form of bruschetta with garlic and extra virgin olive oil.
- Bruschetta with seasonal vegetables, highlighting the fresh produce of Tuscany.
- Classic tomato bruschetta, a staple of Italian cuisine.
Next, you’ll craft handmade tagliolini pasta, pairing it with two delicious homemade sauces:
- Pomarola sauce, a rich and flavorful Tuscan tomato sauce.
- Seasonal vegetable sauce, featuring farm-fresh ingredients.
To end on a sweet note, enjoy a traditional Tuscan dessert with two options:
- Ricotta cream with Vinsanto wine (or a kid-friendly version with strawberry jam).
- Pane, vino e zucchero, a modern twist on a rustic Tuscan treat.
After the class, embark on a winery tour, where you’ll explore the vineyards and cellars, learning about Chianti and Tuscan winemaking traditions. Conclude the experience with a guided tasting of three fine Tuscan wines, perfectly paired with your meal.
