About this tour
Spend three hours in a Viareggio home learning to hand-roll fresh pasta sheets and shape two distinct pasta styles from scratch, then master the assembly of tiramisu. You'll work alongside a Cesarina—a local home cook from Italy's network of culinary hosts—in a group of no more than a dozen. Cook, taste what you've made, and share aperitivo and wine with fellow travellers in an authentic kitchen setting.

What to expect
Arrive at your host's home and ease in with prosecco and snacks. You'll then move to the kitchen where the Cesarina demonstrates stretching and rolling fresh egg dough by hand—a technique that takes practice but feels rewarding once you get it. Next comes shaping: you'll learn two pasta forms, likely tagliatelle and ravioli or similar classics. Throughout, your host explains why each step matters. After cooking and tasting the pasta with wine, you'll assemble tiramisu—dipping biscuits, layering mascarpone cream, dusting cocoa. The final hour lets you sit together, eating and drinking what you've all made.
Good to know
