Our Tuscan Market Tour and Cooking Class from Florence is available daily (March-October) and Monday-Saturday (November-mid January). Master the secrets of traditional Italian cuisine in a stunning Tuscan countryside setting. Begin with a visit to San Lorenzo’s Mercato Centrale to shop for fresh seasonal ingredients like a local. Mingle with bakers, butchers, and farmers selling their wares and admire the stalls bursting with fresh fruit, produce, cheeses, cured meats, balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, and various regional delicacies.

Then head to a beautiful farmhouse to create your menu from appetizer to dessert! An expert chef will teach you the art of Tuscan cuisine. You’ll learn how to make fresh pasta and meat sauce using farm-fresh ingredients. Prepare classic bruschetta using the farm’s own extra virgin olive oil, then savor your masterpiece with a glass of Chianti. Next on the menu: Tuscan roast pork, arista, and roasted potatoes using fresh herbs from the garden. Last but certainly not least – discover the secrets to crafting the perfect Tiramisù. Then gather around to feast on the fruits of your labor. Each course will be paired with a regional wine, carefully selected to compliment the flavors of the food you’ve prepared.

The Tuscan Market Tour and Cooking Class starts and ends in Florence with guaranteed departures.
