Tenuta Torciano cooking class and wine tasting
We had the most amazing experience and day at the Tenuta Torciano winery. Dante was our chef who expertly instructed us to prepare a wonderful meal from scratch. We made pork tenderloin with sautéd vegetables in Chianti sauce, tagliatelle pasta and tiramisu. Alfonso was our server and assisted Carlo our wine sommelier. We highly recommend this experience. You will not regret it nor forget it!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience at Tenuta Torciano. It is wonderful to know that Dante’s expertise and passion made the cooking class both enjoyable and memorable, and that you had the opportunity to prepare authentic Tuscan dishes from scratch. We are also pleased that Alfonso and Carlo contributed to making the wine tasting experience so special with their attentive service and knowledge. Combining great food, excellent wines, and hands-on learning is what makes this experience truly unique. Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable culinary adventure in Italy.

from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $307 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 from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting?
+
Around 0 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does from Florence: Cooking Class in San Gimignano and Wine Tasting 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.
