An amazing cooking class that was entertaining, informative in the heart of Tuscany
My husband and I attended Chef Simone's cooking class with a group of other tourists. The class was hands-on, informative and a lot of fun. We enjoyed the chef's teaching style and the entire group had fun. We learned how to make spinach and cheese ravioli and tiramisu. We got to know the other class members and enjoy the results of our work as a group Tuscan lunch outdoors with an amazing view. The location and atmosphere was amazing. Fabulous experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, We’re delighted to hear that you and your husband enjoyed Chef Simone’s cooking class and had such a memorable experience. We’re happy you enjoyed learning to make ravioli and tiramisu, as well as sharing a delicious Tuscan lunch in such a beautiful setting. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon! Warm regards, my Tour

Very fun experience in a Tuscany farmhouse
This was exactly what I pictured when I thought of a cooking class in Tuscany. Simone was a fantastic host and teacher. The setting is in a vintage Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by vineyards. Simone is very warm and made the whole experience very fun and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and enjoyed the tour. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! Kind regards, my Tour

Highlight of our trip
One of the best highlights of our trip. Simone was welcoming and personable. His instructions were easy to follow and our final recipes were delicious. I would highly recommend this class to anyone traveling to Siena. Best ravioli with truffles and tirimisu. Can't wait to practice at home.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the cooking class and that Simone made your experience so special. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope you enjoy recreating the recipes at home and look forward to welcoming you again! Best regards, my Tour in Italy

Amazing time. We...
Amazing time. We accidentally arrived 50mins early and our host didn’t mind a bit. He took my wife and I to the back yard and gave us beer from his personal supply and talked a while. The view was sensational. When everyone arrived we went into the room where the class was held. Our instructor made everyone feel relaxed and answered any questions that came up. After we made the pasta we had a small break to drink Chianti or beer and to get to know other people in the class. Then we made tiramisu. After that we had lunch which consisted of bruschetta, the pasta we made and finally the tiramisu. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the cooking class, the experience, and the hospitality of our team. We look forward to welcoming you again soon! Kind regards, my Tour in Italy

Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena cost?
+
Prices start at $131 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 Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 180 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena?
+
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 Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena?
+
Around 63 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena 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.
