Overview

Three times a week, in the Florentine city center, there is a special food experience going on: Market visit, grocery and cooking class!

It lasts about 4.5-hours and it is held in Florence.
After doing an interesting session of grocery-shopping in one of the most beautiful markets in Italy, the cooking class starts: with the products purchased, four of the most traditional Tuscan courses are taking life. Appetizer, first course hand-made pasta with sauces, second course of meat and vegetables and a dessert are the very heart of the cooking experience.

Included in the experiences there are water and wine.

At the end of the class there is the “food tasting”: you are going to taste what you have cooked.
Vegetarian option available.

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
