Cooking class for small group in a 19th century villa Florence

About this tour

Learn to cook a three-course Tuscan meal in Antonella's 19th-century villa kitchen, where she's been teaching since 2010. You'll work with seasonal, local ingredients to prepare dishes you'll eat that evening on the terrace overlooking Florence. The setting sits quietly outside the city proper, wrapped in countryside and valley views, with Tuscan wine included.

Highlights

• Prepare three courses with your own hands
• Local, seasonal ingredients sourced nearby
• Dine on the panoramic terrace at sunset
• Tuscan wine paired with your meal
• Take home written recipes for reference
• Small group setting in a historic villa

What to expect

You'll spend three hours in Antonella's kitchen learning her approach to Tuscan cooking. She guides you through preparing each course—from pasta or risotto through to a main and dessert—using techniques rooted in what the season offers. You handle the cooking, she supervises and explains. Midway through or after preparation, a welcome drink settles you in. Once cooking wraps, you move to the outdoor terraces, where the valley falls away below you, and eat what you've made alongside Tuscan wine and water. By the end, you leave with written recipes and the muscle memory of having done it yourself.
