Experience Details

This Tuscan cooking class in Cortona takes place in a private, chef-designed kitchen inside an elegant historic palazzo—an exclusive space created for guests who want authenticity, comfort, and impeccable cleanliness. You’ll learn real Tuscan cooking techniques using fresh, local, and often km-zero ingredients, preparing handmade pasta and traditional regional dishes that you can easily recreate at home.

Every course is paired with selected local wines for a full Tuscan wine-pairing experience, and optional round-trip transportation ensures a smooth, stress-free visit.

What truly sets this class apart is our Chef’s Secret Session: you’ll learn insider tips, family traditions, and professional shortcuts shared only with our guests—knowledge you won’t find in typical tourist cooking classes. An intimate, immersive, and genuinely unique Tuscany food experience.
