Highlights

This experience captures the true essence of Florence’s culinary soul: a journey that blends tradition, hands-on creativity, and the vibrant flavors of Italy. From the lively buzz of Sant'Ambrogio Market, where fresh local ingredients tell a story of heritage, to the warmth of an Italian kitchen, where time-honored techniques come to life, every moment is infused with authenticity. It’s not just about cooking: it’s about feeling like a local, learning the secrets of Italian cuisine from an expert chef, and embracing the joy of food as a cultural experience. The rich aromas of fresh herbs, simmering sauces, and handmade pasta fill the air, creating a sensory journey that awakens your inner Italian chef. Then comes the best part: gathering around the table, savoring the results of your hard work with a glass of Tuscan wine, and sharing laughter with fellow food lovers. It’s an immersive, delicious, and unforgettable way to taste Florence!

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
