Description
This unique cooking class takes place inside a private historic palace rarely open to the public. Under the guidance of a local expert chef, spend three hands-on hours preparing three iconic pasta dishes and classic tiramisu from scratch before enjoying your meal with unlimited Tuscan wine.
The experience begins with a tour of the palace’s ornate rooms once occupied by noble families, featuring well-preserved frescoes on walls and ceilings, including the earliest known portrait of Dante Alighieri.
Next, descend to the palace’s ancient basement, where traces of medieval wool-making structures provide a distinctive setting for the cooking session. A complimentary welcome drink kicks off the class.
The chef instructs you on preparing three essential pasta types: silky tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi, and flavorful potato ravioli. After the pasta, learn to make classic tiramisu by layering mascarpone and coffee-soaked biscuits.
