Experience Details

Three times a week, in the Florentine city center, there is a special food experience going on: Market visit, grocery and cooking class!


It lasts about 4.5-hours and it is held in Florence.

After doing an interesting session of grocery-shopping in one of the most beautiful markets in Italy, the cooking class starts: with the products purchased, four of the most traditional Tuscan courses are taking life. Appetizer, first course hand-made pasta with sauces, second course of meat and vegetables and a dessert are the very heart of the cooking experience.


Included in the experiences there are water and wine.


At the end of the class there is the “food tasting”: you are going to taste what you have cooked.

Vegetarian option available.
