Amazing Cooking Experience in Tuscany
jonasbK5693OE, October 2026
We had an amazing time at this cooking class! Kat was an excellent instructor—super upbeat, friendly, and genuinely fun to be around. We made tagliatelle, ravioli, and tiramisu, and got to taste a few wines along the way.
What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. Cat kept things lighthearted and playful, making everyone feel comfortable joking around, asking questions, and getting to know each other. Nothing felt overly formal or stuffy. Her excellent English was also a big plus for us as American tourists, making everything easy to follow.
Great food, great company, incredible view, and a fantastic instructor. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Tuscany!
