I can’t even describe how good this experience was! We loved it. What a beautiful setting in the Tuscan countryside. Truly an unforgettable experience. The Ravioli and Tiramisu were great. Great wine included, Simone was so personable and relaxed, really made us feel at home. I would 10000% recommend. Thank you Simone!!
My husband and I attended Chef Simone's cooking class with a group of other tourists. The class was hands-on, informative and a lot of fun. We enjoyed the chef's teaching style and the entire group had fun. We learned how to make spinach and cheese ravioli and tiramisu. We got to know the other class members and enjoy the results of our work as a group Tuscan lunch outdoors with an amazing view. The location and atmosphere was amazing. Fabulous experience.
This was exactly what I pictured when I thought of a cooking class in Tuscany. Simone was a fantastic host and teacher. The setting is in a vintage Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by vineyards. Simone is very warm and made the whole experience very fun and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Book this class!! Simone was the best teacher and so knowledgeable. The class was intimate and you got to know everyone you were with, the food we made was amazing! Great views, great wine. You will not be disappointed
One of the best highlights of our trip. Simone was welcoming and personable. His instructions were easy to follow and our final recipes were delicious. I would highly recommend this class to anyone traveling to Siena. Best ravioli with truffles and tirimisu. Can't wait to practice at home.
Amazing time. We accidentally arrived 50mins early and our host didn’t mind a bit. He took my wife and I to the back yard and gave us beer from his personal supply and talked a while. The view was sensational. When everyone arrived we went into the room where the class was held. Our instructor made everyone feel relaxed and answered any questions that came up. After we made the pasta we had a small break to drink Chianti or beer and to get to know other people in the class. Then we made tiramisu. After that we had lunch which consisted of bruschetta, the pasta we made and finally the tiramisu. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!
A fun and easy going afternoon and exactly what my friend and I were looking for in terms of an authentic Italian cooking class! Well worth the time and money. Very interactive and charming experience.
Absolute must!! Simone, the chef, is the best!! Thourough, funny, compationate about pasta! Learned how to make so many styles of pasta!! Wine was delicious and unlimited. Wished I wasn't driving. Beautiful landscape for photos.
This cooking class in a farmhouse in Tuscany is exactly what you would picture and more! Simone is a wonderful host and an even better chef! This cooking class allowed us to make our own ravioli, which was the best we had ever had! Then we made a delicious tiramisu. The wine was flowing and we learned so many great tips! It was absolutely amazing and I would recommend to anyone!!
Excellent time with the cooking and unlimited wine on Simone’s property. The food we made was a great lunch
Simone and his team were amazing!!!! We have a great time together, it was an amazing group, very fun Italian foodie thing to do while in Tuscany and lovely food. Bravo!!! Great memory.
Enjoyed our cooking class. We learned a lot . Our instructor was awesome and informative.Come hungry!
It was a wonderful experience in the countryside of Tuscany. Very rustic but warm and inviting. The owner and chef Simone was outstanding, extremely friendly, included everyone. He ensure everyone was looked after ans has fun completing all the steps in preparing the food. It was a lively atmosphere with fun and laughter. We were a group of six and had an absolutely fantastic day. Highly recommended.
An incredible experience in a quaint farm like setting, Simone was well organized and helpful, demonstrating techniques before we did the actual preparation. They created a welcoming environment where the group had fun together! We had a super time? Loved every minute.
It was truly authentic! A rustic farmhouse with Simone I would highly suggest this tour if you really want to see the backcountry! What we made was really fantastic some spinach, stuffed ravioli, and tiramisu! And lots of wonderful wine
A highlight. Rustic. Picturesque. Funny. Worth the drive because the remote farmhouse in the vineyard is part of the magic. The directions were impeccable too
Amazing experience cooking ravioli and tiramisu in the Tuscany countryside. Our guide was engaging and informative. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!
It was fun & and enjoyable. Learned how to make pasta & tiramisu. Guide was excellent! Be prepared for lunch following lesson. Hope you like wine!
Group of five ladies...we had the BEST time learning to make ravioli and tiramisu!! Loved the whole experience. Would highly recommend! One of the highlights of our trip.
We had a great time at the course - laughed a lot, had some good wine, and got to make and eat some great food. The instructor was really fun and shared some wonderful stories. We made the best tiramisu that we had our whole 2 weeks in Italy!
So much fun. Simone was a great teacher and very relaxed and laid back. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was even better.
This was one of the highlights of our trip, the chef was amazing and a lot of fun. We had such a wonderful day. Would definitely recommend.
Great day at the pasta making class! We learnt how to make fresh ravioli by hand. Simone was brilliant, really engaging with each member of the group and taught us all his Nonna’s tips and tricks. He demonstrated how to make other types of pasta. The ravioli was combined and cooked by Ricardo, while we worked together as a group to make tiramisu. Unlimited free wine was on offer throughout, which you could help yourself to. The class was relaxed and enjoyable, ending with a beautiful 3 course meal of bruschetta, homemade pasta and tiramisu.
Wonderful cooking class! The location is only a quick 15/20 minutes drive from Siena and in a beautiful vinyard. Would recommend getting a taxi, if you enjoy the great red wine which is available during the class and Lunch. This was a birthday gift to my best friend and we enjoyed every minute of the experience.
Awesome experience shared with people from all over the world. In his families’ old country home our chef Simone’ was fantastic and the food he and his team helped us make was sensational. Highly recommend this experience.
Rainy day so had to be moved indoors of an open farmhouse. Plenty of wine. Chef was very informative and helpful….food was awesome…people were friendly…the best experience. I would suggest it to anyone!!
Simone is excellent, the location puts you just outside of Siena in the country side. You just take a taxi from the city…. Excellent, Excellent.
Wonderful experience! Simone showed us how easy it is to make delicious homemade pasta and tiramisu with fresh ingredients. His farmhouse in the Chianti countryside was the perfect setting. One of the best experiences of our trip!
One of our best experiences in Italy! Everything about this was amazing. Simone, our chef, was THE BEST! The food was delicious and we learned how to make authentic Italian pasta.
Amazing experience!! Simone was an incredible host and cooking instructor. The day was fun and full of learning and enjoying! The food was delicious and the views were stunning. We took a taxi there and were nervous about getting back to Siena but Simone called a taxi for us so we didn’t even have to think about it. This experience was a highlight of our trip!
This was so much fun! My husband even says he now wants to have date nights and cook fresh pasta at home (while drinking Italian Chianti Classico, of course). Would highly recommend this experience. Everything from the food, to the location, was perfect.
Best experience ever! Simone’ was awesome host and instructor for our cooking class!! Super person as well. The atmosphere made us feel like we were home with family cooking.
We had such an amazing time at the cooking class. It was educational learning how to make all kinds of pasta and the vibe was just so fun. We made ravioli and tiramisu and it was fantastic. The chef and his assistant were so kind and i recommend this cooking class to anyone!
This experience was absolutely our favorite! Chef Simone is incredibly welcoming. He teaches you how to make delicious pasta as well as tiramisu. Then at the end you get to sit down and enjoy a relaxing meal of the food you created. Thank you, Chef Simone’!
Our family of 4 (including two teens) absolutely loved this experience. We learned to make tortellini and tiramisu, we laughed a lot and enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Simone. The entire experience was peaceful and relaxing and the food was spectacular. Everyone should cook with Simone!
This was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip Italy. Chef Simone was amazing. It is clear he loves what he does and the food was to die for.
I recently took a cooking class in Siena, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Italy! The experience was warm, welcoming, and incredibly hands-on. We learned how to make fresh, homemade ravioli from scratch — from kneading the dough to creating delicious fillings — and the end result was absolutely amazing. I never knew pasta could taste this good! The second part of the class focused on tiramisu, and wow — it was the best I’ve ever had. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience fun and approachable, even for beginners like me. The wine with class was nice too!!! Beyond the food, the class had a charming, authentic atmosphere — set in a lovely kitchen with beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. I left with new skills, great memories, and a full stomach. If you’re visiting Siena and love food, this class is a must-do!
This experience blew my family and I out of the water! My entire family (7 of us) decided to go to Simone’s farmhouse for this cooking class during our stay in Siena, and could not be more pleased with our decision. Simone was an absolutely incredible host and teacher, and by the end of the day, friend! We made homemade ravioli with fresh herbs from Simone’s garden grown right on his farm, and homemade tiramisu. We also had the pleasure of drinking (copious amounts of) his homemade red wine. He even let my mother take home a full mint plant for her own garden at home. If you are going to Siena, you have to experience this!
Great time with a great chef who made us feel comfortable. Nice area with a great view. Lots of fun for all.
This was the highlight of our trip! Simone was fabulous and the food we prepared was amazing! Lots of wine!!
Beautiful location surrounded by vineyards. The best hosts you can ask for! So kind and helpful! What a class!
Very fun experience, we were just the two of us and learned a lot about the basics of Pasta making (as complete beginners). Good wine and good company :) I recommend doing it with a larger group!
A great time. The chef was friendly, welcoming and really knowledgeable. He knew how to explain all that we needed to do to prepare the three courses. And, of course the food was fantastic. Oh, and don't forget the wine. We'll go back next time we are in Italy.
The cooking class with Simone was an amazing experience. It felt super personal like we were just hanging out in someone's kitchen learning their family recipes in an authentic farmhouse setting. We enjoyed bruschetta, made spinach ravioli and tiramisu for dessert and of course, wine was always nearby. Seriously good. Definitely a highlight of our time here!
Beautiful setting in the Tuscan countryside. Chef Simone was very helpful and made it a great experience for everyone.
One of my favorite experiences in Italy. Simone is hospitable, funny, very passionate and a great teacher. We made pasta and dessert from scratch using his grandmother’s recipes. It was a beautiful setting and a really great experience.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the cooking class hosted by Chef Simone at his charming Tuscan farmhouse. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. The chef was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also such a charismatic and engaging host, making the entire experience both educational and fun. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and we learned so many great tips and techniques to take home. The farmhouse itself was picturesque and added to the overall enchanting atmosphere of the day. It was truly a highlight of our trip to Tuscany, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly! Thank you, Chef for such a memorable experience!
Very interactive Loved hands on helping to make a dinner and dessert Also never felt like we were not doing anything incorrectly or taking to long And had amazing conversations as we prepared the meal as well as while eating Can’t wait to try at home Host was very personable and engaging
Simone is wonderful. The stories of his background and the history of the farmhouse and surroundings made for a remarkable experience. The meal we made, based on his Grandma's recipes, was delicious.
