Description
A pasta making class in Chianti is hard to beat when the work table looks out over rows of vines. In the hills around Greve in Chianti, you spend about three hours on a panoramic terrace, turning local flour and eggs from the henhouse into fresh pasta.
Each guest gets a complete station with a wooden cutting board, a rolling pin and a pasta machine. An instructor shows you how to knead the dough and roll it out by hand, at the unhurried pace of the countryside. As the pasta takes shape, a glass of wine keeps you company.
Then you step into the kitchen with the chef, who guides you as you help make the sauce that completes the dish. After that, you sit down to eat on the terrace, with the Chianti hills in front of you.
