Delicious pasta and Gelato

My aunt, sister and I had the BEST time taking this pasta and gelato making class. Upon arrival we were served wine and bread while we watched Alessia give a thorough demonstration of how to make the pastas. We were then separated into smaller kitchens which gave it a more intimate feel. Everyone in our group was so nice and the food was DELICIOUS. The bus was air conditioned which was nice.

Our Favorite Tour of the Trip

This was our favorite activity of our entire trip. Chris our initial guide was wonderful and so knowledgeable. The ride out to the farmhouse was beautiful, comfortable, and full of information about the history of the area. Once at the farmhouse we were greeted with wine and a snack, while we met Camilla (our Italian Nonna) and Alishia (her assistant and interpreter). It was a beautiful afternoon of making pasta, Gelato, and singing and dancing with Camilla. The food was fantastic but the whole experience was perfect.
