Meeting and pickup

Meeting point
Via del Proconsolo, 16r

In Florence, street numbers are divided into red (businesses) and black (residences). Be sure to look for number 16 red (16R), not 16 black. Innocenti Wines is only a 2-minute walk from the cathedral on the right-hand side, next to the Bargello Museum.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

Most cooking classes in Florence take place in modern kitchens or crowded restaurants, but with us, you'll be cooking traditional Italian recipes inside a private Florentine palace alongside a local expert. With historic floors underfoot and centuries-old frescoes above, you'll make fresh pasta and tiramisu in a setting that feels straight out of a novel. Top it off with unlimited Tuscan wine during the meal, and this is by far the best (and most fun!) way to learn Italian cooking.
