About this tour
Spend four hours in Florence's historic centre learning to cook five classic Italian dishes alongside a private chef. You'll select ingredients at a neighbourhood market, prepare your courses in a modern equipped kitchen, then sit down to enjoy what you've made with three wine pairings—Prosecco and Chianti included. Walk away with a digital recipe collection so you can recreate these dishes at home.

What to expect
Your chef meets you at the kitchen to start. If it's a morning session, you'll visit a nearby market together to pick produce and staples—a chance to see how locals shop. Back in the kitchen, the chef demonstrates each dish while you cook alongside them, learning technique and flavour-building as you go. Expect hands-on work: kneading, chopping, tasting, adjusting seasoning. Once everything's ready, you sit down to eat your own cooking paired with wines that complement each course. The whole experience runs four hours, unhurried.
Good to know
Morning classes include market shopping; afternoon and Sunday sessions do not. Public transport is within walking distance. You'll receive a certificate and take home recipes digitally. Wear comfortable clothes—cooking involves standing and movement.
