Italian Pasta & Gelato Making in Central Florence: Cook, Wine & Dine with a Local Tuscan Chef

Escape the crowds as you take time out from sightseeing for an authentic Italian experience you’ll never forget.

Our pasta and gelato-making class takes place in the central Florence home of a real Italian chef, who welcomes you into their kitchen to enjoy a complete overview of Tuscan culinary culture.

Meeting your guide in the bustling Piazza Santo Spirito, you’ll be whisked away on foot through the romantic winding streets of Florence before arriving at the home of your chef and mentor for the evening. Inside, a special olive oil tasting awaits. As you partake in some tasty Tuscan treats you’ll learn about Italy’s culinary history and discover some of the best foodie secrets of the Tuscan countryside.

The real fun begins when you start making fresh pasta and gelato from scratch. Awaken your senses as you get to grips with fresh Italian produce, creating two sumptuous sauces to pair with your dish - and, if the season allows for it, you’ll even prepare one pasta sauce using none other than fresh Italian truffles (when in season).

Finally, enjoy the fruits of your labor - complete with specially-selected wine pairings - with a relaxed dinner party with your new foodie friends.
