    Pasta and wine

    We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and wine tasting. The Chef was adapt at training novice pasta makers!! They had a process set up so that small groups got sufficient attention even while they accommodated large groups. The meal we had was very good and we were extremely full when we were finished. We enjoyed hearing about the history and transformation of the winery.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the cooking class, the pasta-making, and our winery's history. It’s fantastic to know you felt well taken care of and left with a full stomach and great memories. We hope to welcome you back for another experience soon! Warm regards, Lucia - Customer Care

    Excellent beginner pasta class

    We loved the cooking education provided by Alfonso. We enjoyed the lunch accompanied by many oils and wines from Agricola Poggio Ai Laghi. At the end you will be offered a chance to buy some.

    Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.

    How much does Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $88 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siena is not rushed.

    Is Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siena?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siena?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siena?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Cooking Class: Italian Authentic Recipes with Lunch?
