Shop Florence’s market, cook a full Tuscan meal in the hills, and enjoy a 4-course lunch with Chianti and recipes emailed after.
“Erika was wonderful. So full of life and warmth you would think she just invited you to her own home. She made this experience amazing!”
Hands-on pizza and gelato at a Tuscan farmhouse outside Florence with an Italian chef, wine or beer, and recipes included.
“Wonderful experience. Our chef guides Max, Arla, and Tiziano were knowledgeable, accessible, engaging, and delightful. They were especially kind to our children (8 and 11), who loved them all. For them, and for us, this class was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Grazie mille!”
Hunt for truffles with Francesca and a trained dog near San Miniato, then eat a three-course farm lunch with wine.
“An absolutely extraordinary experience and probably the highlight of our week in Tuscany. Francesca was a wonderful guide and a gracious host. The two black truffles found by her and Aries (her dog) were used as ingredients in an incredible lunch that was prepared (with her mother's assistance) after the excursion. The villa is spectacular and the furnishings make you feel like you've found the heart of Tuscany. Grazie Mille.”
Shop Mercato Centrale, cook Tuscan classics at a countryside farmhouse, then feast with wine. 6-hour English guided lesson.
“Me and my husband had the best day at the cooking class! We really enjoyed the trip around the market and then when we got to the farmhouse it was so stunning. The view was amazing and the perfect location for the cooking class. We learnt a lot also. It was the perfect place to enjoy what we had cooked having lunch. Our guide Luca made the experience even better! He was the perfect guide and made it so much fun! He was very funny and made the whole trip great. We would definitely recommend booking this trip.”
4-hour Florence food tour with free-flowing wine, 30-year balsamic tastings, truffle pasta, Florentine steak, and gelato to finish.
“An amazing priceless experience. We had such a personal experience that made it so special. The brunello vineyards were so special.”
