Under the guidance of professional chefs at a charming cooking school in central Venice, master the traditional techniques of pasta-making.

Watch as basic ingredients like eggs and flour transform into perfect pasta under your hands.
The experience includes the secrets of authentic Italian sauce-making, including the classic "Pommarola" tomato sauce. But before sitting down to enjoy your culinary creations, embark on a journey through Tuscany's finest wines. Sample five distinctive Tuscan wines, each paired with traditional Venetian Cicchetti – delightful small bites that perfectly complement the wine selection.
After the wine tasting, gather with your fellow participants to feast on the pasta you've prepared, accompanied by your handmade sauces. The convivial Italian atmosphere continues as you share stories and laughter while enjoying Tuscan wine "Dalle Nostre Mani," produced exclusively at the host's farm.
Your culinary journey culminates in a hands-on gelato-making session. Learn the art of creating smooth, creamy Italian gelato from scratch using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Discover the precise techniques for achieving the perfect texture and balancing flavours. Create your own unique gelato flavour under expert guidance, then savour your freshly made creation alongside a digestive shot of limoncello – the perfect ending to your comprehensive Italian culinary experience.
