Overview

This Tuscan cooking class in Cortona takes place in a private, chef-designed kitchen inside an elegant historic palazzo—an exclusive space created for guests who want authenticity, comfort, and impeccable cleanliness. You’ll learn real Tuscan cooking techniques using fresh, local, and often km-zero ingredients, preparing handmade pasta and traditional regional dishes that you can easily recreate at home.
Every course is paired with selected local wines for a full Tuscan wine-pairing experience, and optional round-trip transportation ensures a smooth, stress-free visit.
What truly sets this class apart is our Chef’s Secret Session: you’ll learn insider tips, family traditions, and professional shortcuts shared only with our guests—knowledge you won’t find in typical tourist cooking classes. An intimate, immersive, and genuinely unique Tuscany food experience.

What To Expect

Step into the welcoming atmosphere of our local private kitchen and discover Tuscany through its most authentic expression: its food. This hands-on cooking class in Cortona introduces you to traditional techniques passed down through generations as you prepare a full Tuscan meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients. With your chef’s guidance, you’ll make antipasto, handmade pasta with sauce, a second course, a classic contorno, and dessert. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the dishes you’ve created, paired with local wine. A warm, intimate, and immersive culinary experience for food lovers and curious travelers who want to bring a true taste of Tuscany home.

WHY TRAVELERS CHOOSE THIS EXPERIENCE
Guests love this class for its authenticity and personal atmosphere. It feels like being welcomed into a real Tuscan home, not a staged workshop. You’ll learn the meaning behind traditional recipes, cook with seasonal ingredients, and gain practical skills you can use at home—while sharing an unforgettable meal with new friends.
