Cooking Class in a Real Tuscan Farmhouse

About this tour

Learn to cook three traditional Tuscan dishes in a working farmhouse kitchen, then sit down to eat what you've prepared. This three-hour class teaches you the techniques behind the region's most cherished recipes, passed down through generations. You'll work alongside your host, handle authentic ingredients, and discover why Tuscan cooking relies on simplicity and quality rather than complexity.

What to expect

You'll arrive at the farmhouse and move straight into the kitchen. Your host will demonstrate each dish first, then guide you through the steps—chopping, mixing, timing. Expect to get your hands properly dirty. Midway through, you'll taste ingredients and talk about why Tuscan cooks choose particular techniques. Once everything's cooked, you'll sit together at a table and eat your work, sharing wine and conversation. The class is unhurried; this isn't about speed.
