Semi-private cooking masterclass with wine and market visit

Begin your culinary adventure with a guided tour of the historic Sant'Ambrogio Market (included with morning departures only), Florence’s most beloved local market. Wander through vibrant stalls filled with fresh seasonal produce, artisanal cheeses, and regional specialities. With your chef as your guide, you’ll learn how to choose the best ingredients, just like a true Florentine.

After gathering your ingredients, head to a cosy kitchen and dive into an authentic hands-on cooking experience. Under the expert guidance of your chef, you'll prepare a full traditional Italian menu from scratch, mastering four iconic dishes:

Agnolotti stuffed with creamy potatoes and crispy pancetta

Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach, topped with tomato and béchamel sauce

Eggplant Parmigiana, rich and layered with flavour

Panna Cotta, served with your choice of topping

As you cook, your chef will share culinary stories, tips, and traditional techniques that bring each recipe to life. Feel like a real Italian cook as you knead, fill, and plate your creations.

Finally, gather around the table and enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared, paired with a glass of Tuscan wine. Share laughs, flavours, and memories in a warm, convivial atmosphere.

At check-out, choose your preferred option between a cooking class with a visit to the market and an express cooking class.
