Florence · TUSCAN COOKING CLASSES
Pasta you actually roll, a ragù that took four hours, tiramisù assembled while the wine is poured. The 15 classes below are priced and clear about how much you cook versus watch, and which ones start at the market.

Make pizza or pasta, gelato, and focaccia at a Tuscan farm with wine, chef instruction, Florence views, and round-trip transport.
“We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class! The chefs were knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and made the whole experience very fun! The setting at a farm up above Florence was absolutely beautiful, we learned practical techniques and were given recipes we can use at home. We brought our teenage kids, and thought it was going to be long at six hours, but the time flew by! The food was delicious and the bottomless wine was wonderful. This was one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Italy, highly recommend!”

Cook a four-course Tuscan lunch, shop Florence’s market, taste Chianti, and learn fresh pasta at a farmhouse in the hills.
“I've given an average review as unfortunately our tour had far too many people on it to fully enjoy or take in the experience with nearly 30 people on ours it was like herding cats. Other groups were a lot smaller than ours and were all actively taking part. We couldn't all get involved really to make the most of it other than when we made terimasui for ourselves due to numbers and couldn't see much of what was going on in the main kitchen and the market was difficult with so many of us to hear or see Luca. Luca and his co host were absolutely brilliant though, highly…”

“Gocamo (sp?) was FANTASTIC! The class was amazing. The pasta was amazing. A little slice of Italy now in our home forever!”
Make fresh pasta and tiramisu in Florence, then enjoy your meal with unlimited wine, coffee, and limoncello in a small group.
“we made 2 pasta and a tiramisu. For me, I found the price to value not worth it given its vegetarian pasta. I was expecting meat sauce based. None of us had dietary requirements. There’s “unlimited” wine but its very cheap ones. It is still fun, but not for the price”
Make pizza and gelato in Florence with a chef, unlimited wine, family pricing, recipes, and a tasty three-hour lesson.
“My two teenagers and I booked this class about two hours before the start. We had soooo much fun laughing and creating together. Chef Jon was amazing at explaining and showing. Our pizza and gelato ended up being our dinner and the recipes provided through the app will be reminders of our time in Italy when we make them at home. Highly recommend doing this when you are in Florence!”

Explore Tuscany from Florence with medieval villages, a hands-on cooking class, Tuscan lunch, wine tastings, and free time.
“This was an incredible experience for my husband and me. Marco was very nice, knowledgeable, upbeat, fun and friendly. What’s great about it is you visit these different areas and you are on your own for a good amount of time (1-2 hours) which is REALLY nice to just explore. Things to keep in mind: Be on time, it’s a LONG day (that is very clear given the duration stated on the tour when booking it), must wear your most comfortable shoes, be prepared to walk on very steep areas to fully explore the city given the allotted time, be cognizant of weather/climate since it will vary from city to…”
Cook four Tuscan courses with a local chef in Florence, then sit down to enjoy dinner, wine, and recipes to take home.
“My husband woke up sick on the morning of our cooking course, despite the policy of needing 24 hours to cancel, Viator responded quickly to my messages and contacted the service provider directly and asked if we could reschedule, which they kindly did. The Tuscan Cooking Course was fabulous, learnt so much and the food we made was delicious. It was also a great way to meet some fellow travellers.”

“We had a 1 year old with us and were nervous about that. I might not recommend that for everyone but overall it was a fantastic experience for us and our baby enjoyed watching and, of course, tasting it!! they were very helpful and accommodating for our family. Fantastic chefs/teachers, delicious food, warm environment.”
Make ravioli, tortelli, and fettuccine by hand in a Florence palace near Ponte Vecchio, then enjoy wine, dessert, and limoncello.
“Billiany hands on experience with the most oarient teacher ever. We were skeptical about whether some expertise would be required as a starter to be able to catch up with pasta making as a porcess, but the class was so easy for an absolute beginner to follow, as well as for more experienced folks to sharpen technicalities. Great community experience with cooking, sharing and having your own pasta with a bunch of other stuff like limoncello, traditional dessert, different wine samples.”
