Experience Chianti with your hands: cooking classes with Chef Barbara at GiaBar

One of the most authentic ways to discover Italian culture is to step into the kitchen. Not just taste the dishes, but learn how to prepare them yourself.

Just minutes from our B&B, in the heart of Greve in Chianti, is GiaBar, a special place where gastronomy, wine, and tradition meet.

Here, Chef Barbara welcomes guests to her cooking school, "Babs Kitchen, " for an engaging and convivial experience dedicated to authentic Italian cuisine. In a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, you'll learn to prepare authentic dishes using seasonal ingredients and high-quality local ingredients.

During our cooking classes, you'll discover the secrets of traditional recipes such as:

- fresh handmade pasta

- traditional Tuscan bread and focaccia

- typical main courses

- iconic desserts such as tiramisu or panna cotta

The lesson is entirely hands-on and concludes with one of the most enjoyable moments: tasting the dishes you've prepared together, accompanied by select local wines.

The classes are designed for everyone: you don't need to be a chef or have experience. All you need is a desire to have fun, learn something new, and experience an authentic experience in the heart of Chianti.

Many of our guests choose this experience because it allows them to take home something more than just a memory: the ability to recreate the flavors of Tuscany even after they return home.

If you love good food, conviviality, and local traditions, taking a cooking class is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful experiences during a stay in Chianti.
