Description
This Tuscan cooking class near Lucca is held at Foresteria Farm in Valgiano, among hills and vineyards. You arrive to a welcome glass of local wine, meet the hosts and the rest of the group, and hear what is on the menu before anyone picks up a knife.
Everyone takes part in every stage. The menu begins with a classic appetizer, then you make fresh pasta and ravioli yourself, before moving on to herb-roasted chicken with a seasonal side from the farm (vegetarian options exist). A simple traditional dessert ends the meal. The ingredients are organic and farm-to-table, and the hosts guide you step by step.
