Your tour begins in central Florence, where you join up with your guide. Walk to a Florentine food market and peruse the stalls, each teeming with the region’s freshest ingredients, including cured meats, olives, cheeses, balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, and other Tuscan delicacies. Select some of these high-quality ingredients for your cooking class later in the afternoon and enjoy tastings of the food and wine.

Climb aboard a minibus and journey into the Tuscan hills and drive to a rustic farmhouse. Under the guidance of an expert chef, prepare a full Tuscan meal. Discover the culinary secrets behind Tuscan cuisine, from slow-cooked meat sauces to whipping up Italian pasta from scratch.

Educational day in Florence

What a fun day. Visited the local market and learned about local foods. Than off to a beautiful villa in the hills right above Florence and learned to prepare pasta from scratch. Truly a wonderful experience.

An enjoyable Tuscan Lunch experience.

Our guide Olivia was wonderful. Very knowledgable, friendly, and fun. A lovely personality to represent Tuscan cooking. Our cook Carmela was outstanding. In addition to being an excellent cook and teacher she was extremely funny. I laughed the entire day. I also met some amazing people from around the world. My favorite was Fred and I hope he comes to visit me in San Francisco. Last but not least, the meal was very delicious!!

Highlight of our holiday!

Probably the highlight of our trip to Florence. Lavinia was such a great guide and Carmela was such a character. We loved the walk in the market while we tasted some local food. We drove to the beautiful property and met Carmela, had some wine. The menu was delicious and it was such a fun interactive and relaxing activity. The end result was just amazing. My sister who is in the culinary industry was very happy and thoroughly enjoyed herself. This was for our first wedding anniversary and what a treat. Last year, we had a certificate for our marriage and this year we had a certificate for Italian cooking! Yayy! Definitely made me want to order less and cook more at home. Thank you so much Lavinia and Carmela!!!

Wonder afternoon

Carmela and Elisa worked very well together. Amazing cooks, venue was wonderful, we unfortunately did not have time to return to the market where we had gotten the food. Which is a must see place by itself. They had a clean up person who made short work of the messes we made. The other guests were also amazingly fun. Be prepared to walk, laugh, and eat. It was worth the money that was spent, I must say I would do it again.
