MONTALCINO COOKING CLASS FIELD GUIDE
Hands‑On Pasta in a Historic Montalcino Villa: Un Viaggio Sensoriale nel Cuore della Toscana
A three‑hour, hands‑on class in a historic villa where you learn to make tagliatelle, tortelli and tiramisù, then sit down to eat your creations — with an optional Brunello tasting for a fuller experience.
Hands‑On Pasta in a Historic Montalcino Villa: Un Viaggio Sensoriale nel Cuore della Toscana.
In the hilltop quiet of Montalcino, a historic villa becomes the setting for a tactile, ingredient‑driven introduction to Tuscan home cooking. Under the guidance of experienced instructors you work dough and fillings by hand, then share the meal you’ve made with fellow participants — an intimate, convivial immersion in regional technique and taste.
