How we chose these
This page ranks 8 classes in Chianti. Every entry was compiled from the page where that class is booked, and the details under each one were read off that page rather than from a press release or a directory summary.
Prices on this page run from €150 to €165, and 5 providers quote on request rather than publishing a figure. Sessions run from 3 hours to 6.5 hours. Those were the figures published when this page was last checked; they change, so confirm on the provider's page before booking.
For every entry we recorded the price for 3 of 8, how long it runs for 8 of 8, the maximum group size for 4, the address for 8, what you cook for 8, the languages taught for 8 and what the price includes for 5. Where a field is missing below, the provider does not publish it, and we have left it blank rather than guessing.
The order reflects our judgement of how much of the session is genuinely hands-on rather than a demonstration, what you cook, and whether you eat it afterwards, how many people are in the room and what the price includes once wine, a market trip or a meal is counted, as far as each provider describes them. Where two were hard to separate, the one that is clearer about what you actually get went higher.
How to use this page. Treat it as a shortlist to compare, not a substitute for the provider's own page. Dates, menus and prices change at short notice, so confirm what is running, in which language, and what the price includes before you pay. We earn a commission on some bookings made through these links. That never changes the order: the ranking is set before any link is added, and no provider can pay for a place on this page.
