There's a reason fresh pasta has survived centuries of culinary evolution: it's simple, honest, and when done right, utterly unforgettable.

In Tuscany, it's also deeply personal — every family has its own way, its own touch, its own secrets.

At Podere Le Caggiole, Giacomo, Chef & Sommelier, opens the doors of his kitchen and shares those secrets with you.

This is a class where you learn by doing — hands-on, step-by-step, guided the whole way in a friendly, family atmosphere.

It begins on the panoramic terrace, where Giacomo welcomes you at his family home: Agriturismo Le Caggiole — an organic farm passed down through more than seven generations, rooted in a genuine respect for the land, the seasons, and the flavours of Tuscan tradition.

Here, before the flour hits the worktop, guests are introduced to each other — because the best meals are always shared!

Then it's into the kitchen.

The first thing on the worktop: the ingredients. Giacomo walks you through each one — why it was chosen, where it comes from, what it brings to the dish.

Local, organic, seasonal, fresh — not just a philosophy, but the starting point of everything that follows.

This is a fully hands-on class — guided by Giacomo, step by step, at your own workstation, in a small group of maximum 8 guests.

Some things deserve your full attention.

This class dedicates every minute to mastering two of Tuscany's most iconic fresh pastas — and yes, it will end sweet: preparing the famous le Caggiole's Tiramisù!

Fair warning: these will be the first three things you'll want to make when you get home.

At the end of the class, you'll sit down to a complete tasting: a Tuscan appetizer prepared by Giacomo, followed by the Pici and Tagliatelle you've made — each paired with a selected local wine — and to finish, your own Tiramisù, enjoyed on the terrace with views over the Tuscan countryside — weather permitting, of course.

At the tasting table, Giacomo presents each dish alongside its paired local wine — explaining the choices behind every pairing and giving you the tools to understand the art of food-wine matching.

Warm, relaxed, and genuinely fun — the way every good meal should be!
