Overview

Set in a beautifully preserved 12th-century farmhouse just outside Florence, this experience offers a rare opportunity to learn traditional Italian cooking with a gluten-free focus—without sacrificing flavor or authenticity. Guided by Maria, a retired architect and passionate cook, you’ll discover her perfected recipes and family traditions while enjoying her warm, welcoming hospitality. Using fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, you’ll prepare and share a meal that reflects true Tuscan farm-to-table living. For an even richer experience, you can begin with an optional guided tour of Florence’s vibrant San Lorenzo Market, where Maria introduces you to her favorite vendors and seasonal specialties before heading to her countryside home. More than just a cooking class, this is an immersive cultural journey where you’ll connect with Maria’s family, savor authentic flavors, and experience Italian life like a local.

What to expect

Learn to make fresh Italian pasta without gluten in Maria’s beautiful Florence home. In this private, hands-on class, discover how to prepare gluten-free pasta dough from scratch, shape your pasta and pair it with delicious homemade sauces.

Begin your gluten-free culinary journey with convenient pick-up in Florence (for groups of 2–6) and a scenic 20-minute drive to Maria’s stunning 12th-century farmhouse. In this hands-on class, learn to prepare a complete Italian meal from scratch, including gluten-free pasta (ravioli or tagliatelle), a seasonal appetizer, and a classic dessert. As you cook, Maria shares her grandmother’s cherished recipes along with personal stories and tips. Afterward, sit down together to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, paired with two glasses of local Tuscan wine. For groups of 7 or more, transport is not included, but the farmhouse is just a 20-minute drive from Florence.

For an even deeper experience, choose the optional San Lorenzo Market tour (1 hour), where Maria introduces you to her favorite vendors to purchase ingredients for your meal before bringing you to her countryside home for the class.
