About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in an Italian garden for three hours of hands-on pasta-making with a local chef. You'll master traditional dough techniques and shape your own pasta from scratch, learning how Italian home cooks balance time-honoured methods with their own kitchen creativity. Finish with wine and aperitifs, tasting what you've made.

What to expect
Your chef will walk you through pasta dough from flour and eggs, explaining why ratios and kneading matter. You'll practise rolling, cutting, and shaping fettuccine, pappardelle, or filled varieties depending on the session. Expect to get flour under your fingernails and gain genuine muscle memory for the work—it's not difficult, but it takes focus. Halfway through, you'll sit down with wine, aperitifs, and a plate of your own handiwork. The garden provides a relaxed setting; this isn't rushed or theatrical.
Good to know
Tell the organisers about allergies or dietary requirements in advance. Public transport connects easily to the location. Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. Three hours moves at a steady pace but includes time to chat and enjoy what you've prepared.
