About this tour
A 3-hour hands-on cooking class in a local Olbian home where you'll learn to make two fresh pasta dishes and tiramisu from a home cook, then sit down to eat what you've made with local wine. It's run by Cesarine, a network of Italian home cooks, and suits anyone keen to cook rather than watch — families with kids included — who wants a genuine meal at the end, not just a demo.
Highlights
- Make two pasta dishes and tiramisu entirely from scratch
- Cook in a real home kitchen with a local Sardinian cook
- Eat the meal you've prepared, paired with regional wines
- Small-group format, typically families or friends together
- Lunch or dinner timing to suit your schedule
- Cesarine network ensures consistent, vetted hosts
- Public transport accessible — no private transfer needed
What to expect
You'll arrive at a private home in Olbia and be greeted by your host cook. The class kicks off with hands-on instruction: you'll work through the first pasta recipe, then the second, learning technique and handling dough as you go. Tiramisu comes next — layering, flavouring, and the patience required to set it properly. Throughout, the cook will explain ingredient choices and Sardinian traditions.
Once cooking wraps, everyone moves to the table. You'll serve the pasta you made, pour the local wine, and eat together. Tiramisu is dessert. The whole rhythm is meal-paced, not rushed — expect 2.5 to 3 hours total from start to clearing plates.

Good to know
This suits food-curious travellers and families (including young kids) who want to actually cook, not just taste. The setting is informal and home-based, so don't expect a commercial kitchen setup. No special fitness level required, though standing and hand work are constant. The class is small-group, so you'll meet other participants; exact group size isn't specified, so confirm when booking. Wine is included; soft drinks available too. Lunch or dinner timing means you choose — book accordingly if you're planning other activities.
