Immerse yourself in this 5 hour culinary experience at the historic Villa Pandolfini estate, on the hills over Florence. Gain hands-on experience and learn to cook with confidence as you create a tantalising 5 course meal. Our professional Italian chefs will teach you the secrets of Tuscan cooking, giving you the skills to impress even the most experienced foodies!

Expand your collection of Italian recipes and savor some traditional and innovative Tuscan specialties. You will learn how to create five courses including an appetizer, two first courses, such as the perfect fresh pasta dough along with risotto or gnocchi, each paired with delectable sauces, a second course of meat or fish accompanied by a vegetable side dish and finish with a delicious Italian dessert!

Our recipes vary according to the season and we utilize only the freshest ingredients available in the market to create the unique Tuscan flavours the region is renowned for. Class numbers are intimate allowing time for interactions with the chef to learn tricks of the trade or for any questions you may have. The best part is perhaps the conclusion, where you indulge in your creations, accompanied by Chianti wine and extra virgin olive oil produced right here on the estate. You’ll be taking home a slice of Tuscan culinary history to share with family and friends!
