Casale Fedele · 50 km from Rome
Get your hands in the dough, then step out into the heart of Italy
Not just a cooking class: you knead in a family farmhouse, then head out into Tuscia — Etruscan frescoes, Renaissance palaces, Italian gardens and the hot springs of Viterbo.
So many guests have kneaded at this table, over three generations.

The most loved recipes
And when the pasta is ready,
we sit down at the table in the garden and eat it together.
Not just a recipe to read
Knead in the morning, explore in the afternoon
An apron, flour up to your elbows, then to the table with what you made yourself. In the afternoon the Roman amphitheatre of Sutri and Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola are a fifteen-minute drive away.
Hen parties, families and groups of friends
Live the experience
Food and art, in the same day
Fresh pasta classes and tastings in the family kitchen, then Fabiana's tips for exploring Tuscia: which Etruscan frescoes are worth seeing, how to reach the gardens of Villa Lante, where to stop for lunch and when to go to the hot springs. Not a class and goodbye.
After the kitchen
Tuscia is waiting right outside the door
Frescoed Etruscan tombs, Renaissance palaces and gardens, Romanesque basilicas and towns perched over the void: almost all within an hour of the Casale. It's the part most cooking classes leave out, and for us it matters as much as the kitchen — stay the night and you have a whole day to see it slowly.
