About this tour
Learn to prepare authentic Tuscan dishes on a working organic farm outside the tourist zone. This 3-hour class teaches you regional recipes that shift across Tuscany's provinces, built on locally-sourced ingredients and traditional techniques.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a rural organic farm away from standard tourist routes. A local cook walks you through preparing 2–3 signature Tuscan dishes, explaining why each ingredient matters and how flavours build across the region's different areas. Expect to chop, mix, and cook alongside your instructor rather than watch from the sidelines. Midway through, you'll sit down to eat what you've made, paired with local wine and water. The session finishes with coffee or tea. Three hours moves quickly, so pace is steady but not rushed.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting food on. The farm is genuinely remote, so private transport is essential—don't plan to use public buses. Infants and toddlers are welcome; specialised seats and prams are available. Bring an appetite and a notebook if you want to jot down technique notes.
