A Cooking class with passion and fun.
Not to be missed! Alina’s passion for the local products and cooking was palatable. We laughed and chatted with the other guests and were able to ask for hints and info all the way through the process. We made two types of pasta as well as Yogurt Strawberry Tiramisu. All the food was then served up with sauces and locally produced red wine and enjoyed as a lunch with our new friends. Alina even catered for my gluten free requirements. We then got a tour of the Olive oil production mill and learnt about the family perfected process.

Definitely worth the trip! Homemade food with love
We learned to make 4 pasta dish and 1 dessert, all homemade, hearty and authentic Italian dishes. Alina is a great host and her family is amazing! Her mom Lucia takes care of the organic farm and research of new food products. Alina is the cooking teacher who welcomes us with her family-made olive oil and wine, coffee, 2 cute dogs and her daughter. The estate is beautiful with their own garden, grapes and olive farm. We toured around the farm and the olive mill that makes freshly pressed olive oil. It’s a wonderful trip with good food and wine, took home a few recipes and lovely food produce!

An amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience with Alina and her family (and dogs) making pasta! The farm was incredibly unique and the whole experience felt authentic and fun. We even got to take the leftover pasta and wine home! Would 10/10 recommend any class or experience that is hosted by Alina!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your amazing review! We’re delighted to hear that your pasta-making experience with Alina and her family (including the adorable dogs!) was both authentic and fun. Our goal is to create memorable moments that truly reflect the charm and traditions of Umbria, and it’s wonderful to know we succeeded.
The uniqueness of our farm and the hands-on nature of the class make every visit special, and we’re so glad you enjoyed taking home the delicious homemade pasta and wine to continue the experience. Alina’s passion for creating meaningful connections through food shines in every class, and we’re thrilled you would recommend our experiences to others.
Thank you for choosing Il Fontanaro! We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable culinary adventures. Grazie mille! 🌿🍷🍝

Fun and delicious!
My daughter and I visited Il Fontanaro for a 2-day cooking experience. We both very much enjoyed the classes and the different pastas, pizza and dessert we made and ate and that we plan on making at home. Alina is an inspiring teacher who made the classes fun as we learned about making handmade pasta and delicious tiramisu. Her blog and recommendations were very helpful as we explored the lovely countryside and towns in Umbria and Tuscany. We’d love to come back for a longer visit!

So great in 2013 that I brought 7 friends in 2022!
We had a lovely time making pasta and enjoying the fine meal that was prepared. The limoncello tiramisu was so special! The red Be Mine wine was also very good.
