Cook Like a Local in San Marino Countryside

About this activity

This is much more than a cooking class. What makes this experience unique is the opportunity to discover the complete journey of food, from the field to the table, on a working organic farm. Before cooking, guests take part in an educational workshop on ancient grains, learning how wheat is transformed into flour through traditional methods and why these heritage varieties are so important to local culture and sustainable agriculture.

The experience takes place in our historic farmhouse, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, offering breathtaking countryside views and a truly authentic atmosphere. All recipes are inspired by local traditions and prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients, many of which are grown directly on our farm.

Rather than a commercial cooking school, this is a personal experience hosted by our family, where guests are welcomed as friends, share stories, and enjoy the meal they have prepared together

Itinerary

Step into our historic farmhouse, Podere Lesignano, surrounded by rolling vineyards and olive groves, for an authentic hands-on cooking experience in the heart of San Marino. Your experience begins with a guided tour of our family farm, where you'll discover the history of our estate and learn about the organic products we grow and produce. We will then take part in a hands-on educational workshop on ancient grains, where you'll learn how flour is traditionally made, following the journey from wheat spike to flour. You'll discover different types of flour and the importance of ancient grain varieties in local food culture. After the workshop, we will move to our panoramic terrace, where you'll join a fun and informal cooking class, preparing traditional homemade dishes such as fresh tagliatelle or ravioli, delicious sauces including classic ragù, and a typical dessert from the local farming tradition At the end of the class, we'll sit down together to enjoy the meal we've prepared, accompanied by a glass of our own Sangiovese wine. More than a cooking class, this is an opportunity to experience the authentic flavors, traditions, and hospitality of rural San Marino.
