About this tour
Learn to shape and fire traditional Neapolitan pizza in a wood-fired oven, then craft gelato and sorbet from scratch. Over three and a half hours in Florence, a chef walks you through building three courses—starter, main, and dessert—before you sit down to eat what you've made, paired with a bottle of Tuscan red from the wine cellar.
Highlights
- Hand-stretch pizza dough and bake in wood-fired oven
- Make gelato and sorbet using traditional Italian methods
- Cook a full three-course meal from appetiser to dessert
- Taste your creations paired with cellar Tuscan wine
- Take home printed recipes for each dish
- Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available
What to expect
You'll arrive at a working kitchen where the chef demonstrates each stage, then you get hands-on. Start with an appetiser, move to stretching and topping pizza dough before it goes into the roaring oven. Next comes the gelato lesson—churning, tempering, and flavouring. By the time dessert is made, your pizza has cooled enough to eat. You'll sit together for the meal, sharing wine and comparing how your versions turned out. Expect some flour on your clothes and real satisfaction from eating food you built.
