1.Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Lunch and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 165 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $107Our pick

Make fresh pasta, ravioli, and tiramisu in Sorrento with prosecco, wine, hillside views, and a small hands-on class.

“There are many other cooking classes to choose from. Do not choose this one! It was in a dirty restaurant portion of a kid’s entertainment complex, half hour drive from the pickup place. The place was dirty, the aprons stank and were unclean. The cooking lesson was perfunctory and basically involved spooning premade tiramisu into a glass, and preparing pasta in a 10 minute procedure, using unclean pasta machines. As a result the pasta, both ravioli and noodles, were mushy and barely edible. The red sauce tasted bottled or canned. The tiramisu was watery, with no structure or substance.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 58 reviews · 4 hours · from $130Top rated

Learn handmade pasta and Tuscan desserts at a Chianti farmhouse, with family recipes, vineyard wine, lunch, and a small-group setting.

“If you want to learn how to make pasta in Tuscany, I highly recommend this one. Annamaria and Valentina were very friendly and welcoming. Due to a cancellation I was the only student for the class, I didn’t feel like they were just going through the motions. They were forthcoming with their knowledge and answered all my questions. We finished with a great chat while finishing the lunch we had prepared looking over a picturesque view. The language barrier was not an issue at all. I would do it again in a heartbeat, next time I’m in Europe. Thanks again ladies for a fabulous lesson and company.”

You make a ton of pasta and dessert and I was so full after the class I didn’t eat the rest of the day. The class is on a hotel on the water. Gorgeous. Prompt pickup after the…”
