About this tour

This 2.5-hour hands-on class walks you through stretching dough, topping your pie with seasonal ingredients, then churning fresh gelato and sorbet using traditional Italian methods. A local chef guides you through both courses, and you'll take home genuine techniques alongside a complimentary drink to celebrate your creations.

What to expect

You'll arrive at a contemporary kitchen studio in Florence's heart and spend your first hour on pizza: learning dough techniques, building your base, and selecting toppings before baking. After tasting your work, you'll move to gelato and sorbet, where you'll discover how Italians achieve those creamy textures and bright flavours using seasonal fruit. The chef demonstrates technique at each stage, but you're doing the work—stretching, mixing, churning. Expect flour on your clothes and hands that smell of vanilla and lemon. You'll eat what you make, and the included drink pairs nicely with both courses.
