Florence: Private Cooking Class in Tuscany with Local Market Tour

If private cooking lessons are what you're after, Florence is the beginning point of our amazing full-day tour, which includes a tour of the city's ancient central market and a hands-on instruction in a typical farmhouse set in the magnificent Tuscan countryside. This is the ultimate foodie experience, guided by a chef. You'll go to the well-known medieval food market, where you'll meet the individuals that make Tuscan produce, such as farmers selling fresh vegetables, butchers, and bakers. Locals buy here, and you may browse with them while they select from a wide variety of specialized foods, cheese, olives, balsamic vinegar, fruit, and vegetables. After your visit to the Mercato is over, your guide will transport you to the Walkabout Florence kitchen in the countryside. The class will start there, in a stunning Tuscan farmhouse situated on a private estate. This is not just a demonstration. You'll be cooking a real four-course Tuscan dinner on your own, guided by the experienced chef. He will demonstrate how to prepare fresh pasta made with farm-fresh eggs, a flavorful meat sauce, and a tantalizing bruschetta made with fresh vegetables from the estate's kitchen garden.
