Overview

Indulge your love of Italian food in Tuscany, and enjoy a full-day tour that combines a market visit with a cooking class and 4-course meal with wine! After scouting out quality local ingredients at a historical Florence food market, travel to a rustic farmhouse in Tuscany, surrounded by exquisite countryside. Then, prepare your feast of pasta, bruschetta and Tuscan roast pork, plus beloved desserts such as tiramisu, before savoring the creations with Tuscan wine. Up to four glasses of wine are included throughout the day as well as a cooking diploma and the recipes.

A full day hands-on Cooking Class in a stunning setting in the Tuscan countryside, including a

market visit topped off with a 4-course lunch.

Search for fresh ingredients at Florence’s historic central food market before traveling to our

beautiful Tuscan farmhouse in the countryside. On arrival be prepared to roll up your sleeves,

you will start creating a complete menu, from appetizer to dessert.

Master the secrets of traditional dishes that you will easily re-create at home for your friends and

family. The cooking lesson is suitable for beginners and for those who can already cook.

Then finally we will all sit together on a terrace hosting incredible views over the Tuscan hills and just like a big Italian family, we will take time to enjoy the food we have prepared together,

complemented with Chianti wine. Buon appetito!

From the moment we met Lucca in Florence we knew we were going to have a fantastic day! He was funny, very entertaining and extremely engaging. He taught us so much about traditional Italian cooking. Carmella was wonderful and funny too. It’s that’s to choose our favourite part of the day!!

This cooking class was the highlight of our trip! Luca and Carmela were charming, entertaining and knowledgeable chefs who taught us to make a variety of dishes. It is all very hands on, from the purchase of ingredients at the Mercato Centrale to the class itself and included tasty treats, wine and a gorgeous setting. This is the second time I have taken the class and I will do it again next time I am in Florence. It is a day well spent!

Lavinia and Carmella provided an incredible experience in the hills above Florence. Learned how to make fresh tagliatelle, and yes, fresh tastes different. We picked up ingredients at the market and the cooking experience was extremely well organized and informational. The resulting lunch, abundant like a dinner, was great. The place is beautiful.

Myself and my niece took this Cooking class on our recent trip to Italy, we had a fabulous experience, making delicious food in a gorgeous setting. Luca and Lucia worked very well together, we learnt loads and had lots of fun. Highly recommend this trip.

We book from La Vacanza Travel & this cooking experience clearly did not disappoint us. We met our guide Lavinia at the train station. We proceeded to central market to purchase the key ingredients for our cooking experiences. Along the way Lavinia introduced the key highlights of this market After the market visit, we proceeded by bus to the home of the main chef Camellia. It is located up the hills past Piazzale Michelangelo It was an amazing place with magnificent views of Florence Camellia spoke only Italian but she clearly wowed us with her warm personality. Lavinia helped to translate in English to us We truly enjoyed the session & feasting on the four course lunch A certificate was presented to us at the end of the session Strongly recommended !
