About

After meeting the professional chef in our centrally located office you will be transported directly to our beautiful private estate in the hills just above Florence where you will start to live the full Italian experience.

On arrival you will be able to appreciate the stunning views over gorgeous countryside as you taste the traditional 'fettunta' and enjoy a glass of Chianti wine whilst listening to the culture behind Italy's most famous food, pizza and gelato.

By this time you will be eager to get hands on. The professional chef will teach you the art of dough making and kneading and will give you all the inside tips in order to easily produce the same result back home where you'll be able to impress your friends and family. You'll learn about the different ways to make pizza depending on the region.

Next it will be time to get creative as you use the ingredients picked from our very own vegetable garden and choose from the many traditional toppings the Italians love. The pizza will be cooked in our wood oven to give it the traditional flavor that will make you feel proud as you sit down and enjoy your pizza with more wine or beer.

The fun continues as you then learn the special techniques to make your very own gelato. You will make creamy gelato with unique toppings/sauces and though you may always want to reproduce these same toppings the chef will make sure you have an adequate understanding in order to be able to experiment at home!

You will leave feeling satisfied, excited and with wonderful memories that you will be able to take home with you!

"It was a great cooking class."

We had so much fun making pizza and gelato. Gloria was such a great host! She was very knowledgeable and fun! Thomas and Pisa were great with the pizza making class. They were so funny and kept us entertained the whole time. The views were breathtaking, and the food was delicious.

"One of the top highlights of our trip to Florence"

We really enjoyed this class. One of my favorite things to do when visiting another country is to take a cooking class - a great way to connect to a culture and people through food. I particularly like this activity when traveling with kids. This class was one of the best I have taken anywhere. Cris, Arla, and Tiziano were a great team, filled with helpful hints for success all delivered with an appropriate amount of humor. I am confident that I will be making gelato and pizza at home and wowing my friends. The only problem is I fear I am now a pizza and gelato snob, knowing what I now know! I would highly recommend this experience to all.

"Wonderful!"

My wife and I along with two daughters, their husbands, and seven children experienced the pizza and gelato class in the Tuscan hills outside of Florence, Italy. It was absolutely wonderful. Everyone had a marvelous time. The setting was gorgeous and the instructors were funny and engaging.

"Pizza and Gelato"

We really enjoyed the pizza and gelato class with Chris, Tizziano, and Thomas! Chris had an interesting culinary background and was very knowledgeable about the science behind cooking. Tizziano and Thomas were super fun to make pizza with and the final products were delicious! We got a beautiful sunset too!

"Super fun evening!"

The instructors were informative and witty! We spent the evening making delicious food with an equally as incredible view of Tuscany.

Location

Please check the meeting points in the confirmation email. Our cooking classes take place in the village of Pian dei Giullari. We'll meet in the meeting point and go there together.

Meeting Point

Piazza dei Cavalleggeri, in front of Biblioteca Nazionale (National Library) - Staff holding a Walkabout sign Info - If it possible for you to reach Florence by train or bus is surely better than by car because the traffic is heavy and you have to plan well in advance in order to reach the destination in time.
