Join Elisa in our farmhouse kitchen to learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch, then sit down to enjoy a three-course private lunch or dinner with your creations at La Dogana’s restaurant.
Cooking together to bring people closer
Elisa loves sharing her secrets for making fresh pasta in a simple, relaxed way that you can easily repeat at home. For her, pasta is not just a recipe, it’s an excuse to gather your favourite people around a table, slow down and create something together.
In this hands-on class, she will guide you step by step, so that every guest has a role and the final result is truly a team effort.
Welcome & introduction
You start with a short introduction to the ingredients and the Italian traditions behind fresh pasta and welcome prosecco!
Hands-on pasta making
The group is divided into smaller teams, and each one is responsible for a different step: mixing the dough, kneading, rolling and shaping. Elisa will be by your side the whole time, making sure everyone can participate and have fun.
Sauces & finishing touches
While the pasta rests, Elisa will show you how to match it with simple, seasonal sauces, using local ingredients from our area.
Sit-down private meal
Afterwards, you move to our restaurant for a relaxed three-course private lunch or dinner, where you will taste your own fresh pasta as part of the menu, paired with our house wine.
After the class, you will enjoy a private meal reserved just for your group at La Dogana’s restaurant, overlooking the lake and its islands.
A typical menu includes: a seasonal starter, your handmade fresh pasta as the main course and a homemade dessert and limoncello!
The experience is accompanied by our house wine and water. We are happy to accommodate vegetarian and vegan guests, as well as allergies and intolerances if communicated in advance.

Would you like to make your cooking class even more special?
Our cooking class can be combined with an authentic truffle hunting experience, guided by a professional truffle hunter and his trained dogs, just a few minutes from our estate.
Start the day in the forest, learn how truffles are found, then return to the estate to cook and enjoy traditional dishes using fresh truffle.
This combination creates a unique full-day culinary experience, perfect for food lovers and curious travelers.
A combined quote for both experiences is available on request.
