Gourmet Cooking Class In The Centre Of Florence

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a centuries-old Florence kitchen and cook three dishes from scratch under a chef's guidance, then sit down to eat what you've made with wine. You'll choose your menu beforehand—whether that's classic Tuscan (handmade tagliatelle, tiramisù), all-pasta variations, medieval peasant fare, or a meatball masterclass. Four hours total, ingredients sourced locally and organically, finishing with a proper meal you've earned.

Highlights

• Learn three complete recipes in one session
• Eat your finished dishes with local wine
• Pick your menu: Florentine, pasta-focused, medieval or meatballs
• Work with a professional Tuscan chef
• Organic, farm-sourced ingredients throughout

What to expect

You'll arrive at a historic Florentine kitchen space and spend the morning or afternoon on your feet, chopping, mixing, kneading and cooking alongside your chef instructor. She'll talk you through technique without hovering—expect real work and real flour under your fingernails. Halfway through you'll transition from cooking to eating, pulling up a chair to taste what you've prepared with a glass of local wine. The pace is steady but manageable; this isn't rushed.
