Florence Chianti Wine Cheese Farm Day Tour Pasta Cooking Class

If you're looking for private cooking lessons, our incredible full-day tour starts in Florence and includes a tour of the historic central market as well as hands-on teaching in a typical farmhouse situated in the breathtaking Tuscan countryside. You will visit the famous San Lorenzo food market, where you will interact with Tuscan-born farmers, including bakers and butchers. Locals shop here, and you may peruse with them an extensive selection of cheeses, olives, fruits and vegetables, as well as balsamic vinegar. Then your guide will take you to a state-of-the-art kitchen. It is there, in a gorgeous Tuscan farmhouse on a private estate, that the class will begin. This goes beyond simple demonstration. Under the guidance of the skilled chef, you will prepare a traditional four-course Tuscan meal on your own. He'll show you how to make rich beef tomato sauce, pasta made with farm-fresh eggs, a delicious bruschetta, roast pork loin with potatoes and tiramisu. Chianti wine is included.

We'll visit a villa in the heart of the Chianti region, on the edge of a stunning medieval castle overlooking the Tuscan countryside, where you will create authentic Tuscan antipasti, learn about extra virgin olive oil, roll your own home-made pasta and relish our most famed Tuscan dessert.

Tuscan cuisine is an experience full of celebration and satisfaction, that you can enjoy with your family or with your partner. Fun and passion will be the real ingredients of this fantastic cooking class! On our way back to Florence we'll stop and have a walk into the medieval town of San Gimignano, featuring thirteen authentic 12th century towers, where we'll visit the famous Dondoli gelato maker and taste his world champion gelato.
