Cooking Classes in Montepulciano
Pici — the thick hand-rolled pasta of southern Tuscany — is the local test, and classes here teach it properly: rolled by hand without a machine, then served with garlic and breadcrumbs or a wild boar ragù. Classes run in home kitchens in the old town and on farms in the valley, usually finishing with the meal and a bottle of Nobile.

Cooking Classes in Montepulciano — FAQ
What do you cook in a Montepulciano cooking class?
Fresh pasta almost always — pici, pappardelle or ravioli rolled by hand — plus a sauce, often an antipasto of crostini, and tiramisu to finish. Farm classes add what is in season, from wild boar to the first olive oil in November.
How much is a cooking class in Montepulciano?
Pasta and tiramisu classes in a local home cost around €65, full classes on a Tuscan farm with lunch €109–€176, and cooking demonstrations with dinner at a local’s house about €95–€160.
Are cooking classes in Montepulciano suitable for beginners?
Yes — most are small, hands-on and pitched at people who have never made pasta. Pici is deliberately the first thing you learn because it needs no machine and no particular skill, just patience.
