Florence pizza or pasta class at a Tuscan farm with gelato making, wood-fired cooking, Chianti wine, and round-trip coach transport.
“My family and I (wife and kids ages 19 and 16) loved the experience. It was a quick and scenic drive to the farm. After a welcome appetizer, we learned the process for the pasta and gelato. Making the pasta was easy and fun and we feel we could do it at home. Same for the gelato. Our chefs, Davide, Max and Carmella were entertaining and kept us laughing. The meal itself was delicious and we loved that we could try all of the 14 gelato flavors. We highly recommend this experience.”

This was the best day of our Italy trip, and you should definitely book it!”
Make a 4-course Tuscan menu in Florence, then eat your work with wine. Small-group class, pro chef tips, and take-home recipes.
“This is a very nice cooking class with a knowledgeable staff and chances to work hands on. Only comment to make is to not rely on the sample menu to make a decision. I picked this class because risotto was on the menu rather than making fresh pasta. I know how to make fresh pasta and was trying to avoid such a class. Not complaining, just providing a word to the wise. Food was excellent, could have been a little more generous with the wine (1 bottle for six people was IMHO a little skimpy) but all in all a decent experience though I will probably not repeat it. Cheers!”
