Cook pasta, bruschetta, roast pork, and tiramisu at a Tuscan farmhouse after a Florence market tour with wine and local guides.

“Without a doubt, book the tour! We did the Tuscan lunch + market tour with pasta making class. You begin by visiting the Centro Mercado which is a large market selling all fresh ingredients, meats, cheeses, etc. The guide; Lucca, is such an incredibly unique and fun persona! He thoroughly explained ingredients, showcased food options, and we were even able to taste multiple food products in the market. There is a bus that takes you on a 15 minute ride to the Tuscan farmhouse which is gorgeous!! The cooking class is interactive; everyone participates in something! There are so many photos opportunities. You get to prepare: bruschetta, drink endless wine,…”

Review of Amalfi Heaven Gardens cooking class, with terraced gardens, fresh pasta, coastal views, local wine, recipes, and practical tips.

“This class was the highlight of our trip to Italy! From picking fresh ingredients in the beautiful gardens to enjoying the meal we prepared, the whole experience was delightful! The staff was incredible and the food was delicious. We will definitely be making these dishes again and again at home. The views, instruction, staff, dishes, every piece of it was fun, organized and educational. I will be recommending this class to anyone I know who is venturing to the Amalfi coast.”

Luca was both hilarious and a brilliant teacher, and Erika was so encouraging and kind, and all of the food the group made together was delicious. As someone who is not a confident cook I learnt so much and really enjoyed the day, and have the confidence now to try making tagliatelle back home. Thank you Luca and Erika!”

It’s an hour away from Positano, and there’s a lot of hair pin turns on the way. Some ppl in our party got sick. But it was ultimately totally worth it.”

“Overall, this activity was the most authentic Italian cooking experience you could ask for. We were a little confused at first with the meeting point and lack of explanation on the day, but once we got to the market and the house it was incredible. They are the sweetest true Italian couple who are so knowledgeable about Italy and pasta and it’s such an authentic experience. The food was sooo good too! They’ve done hundreds of tours and are so sweet.”

It's probably a good 25 minute ride where you can see some of the mountain area above Sorrento with some nice views along the way. We were warmly greeted by Mari and her mother, along with Mari's sister who was there at time. The cooking class was well organized and was just the 2 of us which we liked. We ate the very good things we prepared and enjoyed wine with the meal. I would recommend this class to anyone…”
