Experience Details
Escape the crowds and discover Calestano, a charming medieval village in the hills near Parma. In our family home, you’ll enjoy a hands-on cooking class that’s warm, personal, and 100% Italian.
Together we’ll make fresh ravioli and tagliatelle using seasonal, organic ingredients from our garden. Want to make it extra special? You can add local black truffle.
After cooking, we’ll sit down to a full Italian meal: homemade antipasti, your pasta dishes, local wine, and a sweet finale with my signature tiramisu.
Expect stunning countryside views, a relaxed family vibe, and maybe a visit from Cesare and Cindy, our friendly cats.
No car? No worries — optional transport from Parma makes everything easy.
More than just a class, this is a slice of real Italian life. Come cook, eat, and laugh with us in the heart of the Food Valley.
