Step into the heart of Tuscany and immerse yourself in a hands-on pasta-making experience at Podere La Rocca, nestled in the scenic countryside near Montepulciano.

Guided by a passionate local chef, you’ll discover the secrets behind perfect handmade pasta, from kneading the dough to shaping traditional varieties like pici, ravioli, and tagliatelle. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned cook, the class is designed to be fun, accessible, and rewarding for all skill levels.

Begin your morning in the farmhouse kitchen, where your chef will introduce you to the ingredients and techniques that define Tuscan cuisine. Learn how to mix, roll, and cut pasta dough, then craft classic shapes by hand. As you work, pick up tips on creating simple yet delicious sauces using fresh, local produce. Enjoy the lively, communal atmosphere as you share stories and laughter with fellow participants.

After the cooking session, gather around the table to enjoy a leisurely lunch featuring the pasta you’ve prepared, paired with a glass of the estate’s own wine.

The meal includes a variety of sauces, such as tomato and basil or sage and butter, highlighting the flavours of the region. Water and recipes are provided, and you’ll leave with the skills and confidence to recreate Tuscan pasta at home.
