Great class, great food and wine - The vineyard and winery were beautiful. The woman (Alexa) who drove the van and led the cooking class was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great Italian cook. She made the experience really relaxed and fun. It was actually some of the best pasta we tasted in Italy. This is not an in depth wine tasting but more of a fun cooking experience with wine served with the lunch we all made. It is only a 35 minute drive from Florence to the amazing countryside. This is a great way to maximize 4-5 hours to cook, eat, drink wine, and see an authentic Tuscan villa and winery.

Awesome experience - This truly was a highlight of our trip to Florence! We went to a beautiful family winery. We were given a tour of the wine cellar by Luca. He was so knowledgeable and did an excellent job in explaining and teaching about the wines. Then we went to the kitchen with Alexa. She did an amazing job. We made and rolled the pasta, made the sauce, and the tiramisu for dessert. Then we sat down and enjoyed the meal we made. We could not have had a better teacher than Alexa. This experience exceeded our expectations!

Amazing experience in a picturesque setting,not to be missed. - Without a doubt this was our favourite experience in Tuscany. My husband and I thought it looked like fun,we couldn’t have known how much fun it would be. We met up with a group of people doing a couple of other activities ( wine tasting,Vespa tour) at Tuscany Cycle in Florence and were transferred by van to an exquisite vineyard outside the city. Alexa & ? I’m afraid I don’t recall the wine connoisseurs name. Both of these folks were friendly and kind hosts, not to mention extremely knowledgeable. The setting is right out of a movie. We saw the ancient wine cellar and the vineyard,then started our cooking class. That day it was just the 2 of us with Alexa. Reading other reviews here makes me laugh when people think because Alexa isn’t some older Italian grandma, that she doesn’t know what she’s doing. I’m here to tell you she’s a great teacher/cook. We made a meat ragu, Papparadelle pasta and tiramisu all from scratch. The wine was poured when we arrived in the kitchen and we were invited to enjoy as much as we liked. Alexa gave us lots of tips on what to look for when buying ingredients back home and answered all our questions. She was patient and kind and when we were finished preparing the food, we sat at a table overlooking the incredible scenery and enjoyed the fruit of our labour. It was perfect! After that I received the recipes from Alexa by email so we can reproduce the dishes at home. Thank you Alexa for the lovely memories,your a legend!

Book this activity! - Highly highly recommend!! This was such a great experience for our family. I saw other pasta making classes in Florence but I’m glad that we chose one that was in Tuscany. The driver and the instructors were friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The drive out to Tuscany was beautiful and we even began the tour learning more about the winemaking process. We made tiramisu and pasta and sauce in a beautiful kitchen. They even gave us wine to drink while we cooked. We had varying skill levels in our group and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Just do This! - Alexa was the greatest delight! What a treat that we (couple) had her to ourselves! We made Pici pasta, tiaramisu and of course had fabulous wine at a property built in 1247. Cool settings & great, great food. But Alexa made it all so great. Thank you Alexa - From Oregon!

Don't miss out! - This was a fabulous experience! We had never done anything like this before and couldn't stop talking about it. Both guides were great as we drove about 30 minutes out to the property. Francisco talked about wine making process and walked us thru the wine cellar. We had wine and learned how to make pasta from scratch with Alexa in an old country kitchen. We enjoyed more wine and our own cooked pasta for lunch. Would do this again!
