Florence: Cooking Class + Lunch/Dinner + Wine Tasting

Additional Information & Description

This Tuscan cooking class in Florence puts you at the worktop to learn the region’s cuisine with a professional chef. Over five hours, you move from preparing dishes to sharing the food you have cooked, with guidance that connects the recipes to Tuscan flavors and traditions.

Make pasta by hand and build a Tuscan menu

Fresh pasta is a hands-on part of the class: you learn to make it by hand and prepare sauces under the cook’s guidance. Dishes taught include ficattole, bruschetta, and fresh pasta with white meat sauce, giving you several different preparations to work through rather than focusing on a single recipe. The cooking experience also includes baking classic Tuscan bread and finishing the meal with dessert. The emphasis stays on preparing the food yourself, with a cook guiding the process.

Taste local wines alongside your cooking

The wine tasting pairs local wines with the food you make. As you taste, you learn about the wines’ flavor profiles, linking the explanation directly to what is in your glass and on your plate. This part of the class brings the cooking and tasting together rather than treating them as separate activities.

Sit down to lunch or dinner

Once the dishes are ready, everyone sits together to eat and share stories in a friendly setting. Lunch or dinner is included, depending on the time you select, along with coffee and water. A live guide is also included, with guiding languages available in English, Italian, and Spanish.
