Spend a day in the Chianti hills learning fresh pasta and gelato techniques, then taste Chianti Classico in a villa cellar. This hands-on class includes transport from Florence and scenic vineyard stops.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive at a farmhouse road that narrows between cypresses and gnarled olive trees; the air smells of warm flour, crushed grapes and earth warmed by the sun. Inside a low-ceilinged kitchen, long wooden tables host bowls of flour and eggs, while outside the van rumbles off toward vineyards for an afternoon among old stone terraces.
