The location (Castello Tricerchi) is easy to find, about 15 min. North of Montalcino on the main road to Siena. First we were shown the wine cellar and given some information on the crafting of Brunello wine, which is made only in the Montalcino area. There is a small outbuilding on the grounds which has been made into a modern, clean, kitchen/cooking area. It looks just like the picture - you prepare the meal looking out through the picture window onto the beautiful valley. There were only 5 of us that day: 3 in my family and another couple. Chef Giacomo from Chef Alexandra's team was a lot of fun! We began with some Prosecco, and he kept it flowing throughout the class. His instructions are clear (he speaks excellent English), and he is very patient. We made pasta, a meat ragu sauce, a beef/wine dish, and tiramisu. Then Giacomo finished the cooking and we ate our creations on the outside terrace attached to the building, with that same beautiful view. Along with lunch, we tasted 3 of the red wines that are produced here at Castello Tricerchi. My favorite was the Brunello and, yes, I had some shipped home! My family agreed that it was a highlight of our time in Tuscany.

What an absolutely amazing experience. It was just me and my girlfriend. The food was amazing, and they were very accommodating for two who aren't very skilled in an Italian kitchen. We stayed in Siena, and they took care of booking all of our travel to and from. Very easy and very highly recommended!

Actually my favorite thing I did in Italy, weather was perfect, staff was lovely and it was by far the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life and I made it. Who would have thought! Highly recommend!

My husband and I loved this class. The hosts are warm and funny and make you feel like you’re at a party with old friends. The location is breathtaking, the cooking was fun and the food was excellent. This was our favorite day in Tuscany. Definitely book this cooking class!

Wow! What an incredible day. Alexandra was just amazing. She was so knowledgable about her cooking and wines. She taught us so much that we will all be practising at home! From the Al’dente pasta dish to the tender meat dish to the best tiramisu dish, every dish was 10/10. Alexandra’s mother, Michele was a delight, so lovely and helpful. I’ve been to many cooking classes in Italy and this was by far the best, the scenery, people and food was just dreamy. Thank you so much guys!!

I cannot recommend this cooking class enough. Wonderful chef and teacher with an outstanding venue overlooking a beautiful vineyard. The food was delicious and fun to make. The wine was amazing and Alessandra kept us entertained and taught us so much. This experience was my favorite of all the things I did over 10 days in Tuscany. Book this trip — a memory of a lifetime!

This cooking class was hands down our favorite activity while in Tuscany. You can instantly tell that Alexandra (the chef) loved her job of teaching others how to cook. She was so kind and knowledgeable. The food was all so delicious! I can’t wait to try to make these dishes at home for our family.

What a wonderful family cooking class!! We had a great time making pasta, drinking wine, eating delicious pasta with a gorgeous view of Tuscany! We have picky eaters, a food allergy and are vegetarians- they were super accommodating, which we really appreciated. We all had a great time (kids ages- 18,14 and 8 were all happy) One of our best days of our trip! Thank you!!!

Our family had an amazing cooking class with Alexandra. She is an incredibly skilled chef and the food and experience were SO AMAZING! Great view, awesome food and such a fun day with our two college-aged kids. We made tiramisu, ravioli and tagliatelle. Alexandra is so energetic, positive and instructive— really an amazing host for a wonderful family experience. Castello Tricheri is a special venue with a lot of history and Alice was also an excellent guide! Grazie Alexandra and Alice.
