Hands-on Cooking Class and Lunch in the Heart of Chianti Classico
Overview
The "Vineyard-to-Plate" Connection: You won’t just cook in a kitchen; you’ll dine on a terrace overlooking the very vines that produced the Chianti Classico in your glass. It’s a 360-degree immersion in our organic estate’s life.
Authentic Conviviality: In Italy, food is about sharing. We focus on the "Tuscan pace"—taking the time to prepare pasta from scratch and then sitting together as a family to enjoy the meal, paired with our own organic wines, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Master the Essentials: Instead of overcomplicating, we teach you the true secrets of two Italian icons—fresh pasta and tiramisu—using simple, seasonal ingredients that you can actually find and use once you return home.
The minimum number of participants for this experience is 2 people, max 8 people.

What To Expect
Join us at Casa Emma for a practical cooking session deeply rooted in our territory. Our estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, and the class takes place directly overlooking our vineyards and olive groves—the very landscape that defines our production.
You will focus on two pillars of Tuscan tradition: making fresh pasta from scratch and preparing an authentic tiramisu.
The experience concludes with a full lunch featuring the dishes you prepared, complemented by a professional wine tasting of our Chianti Classico labels. You will also taste our extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, learning how we pair our estate products with traditional food. Simple, professional, and surrounded by the real Tuscan countryside.
