Pici, Tiramisu and Wine in the Cellar. The Tuscan Cooking Class You Won't Forget

Learning to hand-roll pici in the kitchen of a family-run winery in Cortona, with the aroma of ragù simmering on the stove and vineyards just beyond the window — it's an experience that has little to do with cooking and everything to do with the essence of a place. In that moment, your journey stops being a sequence of landscapes to admire and becomes something you do, knead, and taste.

Cooking in a Cellar: Where Food Meets Wine

Tuscany has built its identity around the dinner table — and the true Tuscan table cannot be understood without the wine that accompanies it. This exclusive cooking class is born from exactly that connection: a collaboration between a family-run winery on the hills of Cortona and a traditional cooking workshop, united by the same passion for the land and what it produces.

In three hours of hands-on experience, you'll learn to prepare hand-made pici — the oldest pasta shape of the Val di Chiana — with traditional ragù or vegetarian sauce, and traditional Tiramisu, one of the most beloved Italian desserts in the world. Then comes a guided tour through the tanks and barrels of the cellar, to understand how a wine that bears the name of this territory is born. And finally — the best part — you'll sit down at the table together to eat what you've prepared, paired with a selection of five wines from the estate.

The Memory That Lingers at the Table

Tuscany is remembered in many ways. But few things stay with you like that evening: your hands still dusted with flour, a glass of Syrah Cortona DOC on the table, and the certainty that you've understood something true about this territory. The cooking class in the cellar in Cortona is not a cooking lesson — it's a piece of authentic Tuscany that you take home with you. The kind that's truly worth seeking out.
