Convivio Cooking Class
In Tuscany, we sit all together at the table to share our meal because we believe that solitary meals are a waste of precious life. We’re cutting through the noise. A long table, a bottle of wine, and the raw energy of the people who matter most, that’s the real medicine.
At Convivio, cooking is a collective action. Grab your tribe, select your favourite playlist, turn up the volume and get your hands in the flour. We’re reclaiming the table as the front line of longevity. Loud stories, real laughter, and zero pretense. Creativity and personal taste are a big part of these cooking classes. How? Through pizza.
Making pizza together encourages both collective and individual creativity: it’s fun to prepare, fun to share, and even fun to compete to see who makes the best one.
The process starts with choosing the flour: wheat flour, Senatore Cappelli flour, or spelt flour. Pizza toppings change with the seasons, and we will guide you through every step — from when to add ingredients (before or after baking) to which flavors work best together.
The Class
Cooking for the table, not for the plate
Here, the recipes are made to be shared. No individual portions.
Meet our Maestro, enjoy the view and the wine, put on your favourite music and start your class like it was your Sunday gathering with your loved ones.
You will prepare and eat foods that naturally bring people together:
Hand-stretched pizza
Golden focaccia
Fresh pasta
Slow-simmered sauces
Abundant platters meant to be placed in the center of the table
Dessert
The Location
A living room in Castelnuovo dell'Abate
The setting is warm, intimate, and welcoming, more like a Tuscan living room than a cooking school. You cook side by side, then sit down at a long communal table, sharing what you’ve made with people you love, surrounded by the Val d’Orcia.
Get your party started
Turn your cooking class into a celebration. At the Convivio Cooking Class you can cook, eat and celebrate together with your big family or your long-distance best friends for an unique occasion.
