    Great instructor! Great cheese!

    Amazing class! Jess does an incredible job explaining and makes the whole process very beginner friendly, informative, and fun.

    Hidden Gem!

    My husband and I were traveling with another couple and the four of us took this class. There were only six of us in the class so it felt semi private. None of us had any knowledge or experience with cheese making, but Jess made the class very fun and informative. It was great to be so hands on and to be able to keep your creations separate and take it all home after. The amounts were very generous! I only wish we did this earlier in our trip so we had time to eat it all before we moved to another destination. Make sure to come hungry because once you’re done making the cheese you get to eat the instructors portion along with a bunch of other stuff including a diced truffle spread, cured meats, bread, Stracciatella and caprese. And the drinks kept flowing too! We didn’t have room for lunch after. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

    Great Activity and Meal

    We learned some great techniques and watchouts for making Mozarella. Jessica was very knowledgeable and made the class fun. We also received a great lunch. We recommend this event

    Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at €90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings?

    +

    Included: Surprise Tastings and Wine Pairings; Hands-on Mozzarella Cheese, Burrata and Stracciatella Workshop; Professional English Speaking Cheese Maker; Tastings of different typologies of Cheese (mozzarella, treccine, nodini); and Welcome Drink with Prosecco. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings?

    +

    Meet your Chef at Simbiosi Restaurant Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings offered in?

    +

    Is Florence: Mozzarella Cheese Making with Wine and food Tastings wheelchair or stroller accessible?
