Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local Florence home with your host Antonella and her family. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food.

    The highlight of Firenze for food lovers

    We've seen "the David" , mercato centralle, uffizi, the leather shops, luxury shops, the beautiful city of Firenze. Enjoyed meals at all the best restaurants.. By far our favorite experience in Firenze was Antonella's cooking class with dinner. Antonella was the most gracious host. Her demeanor gave us a family like sense of comfort. Her knowledge, professionalism and love of cooking was clearly evident within the first 15 minutes. The food was simply amazing! It's a MUST try. Very highly recommend...we will be back.

    PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella cost?

    +

    Prices start at $332 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 PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella?

    +

    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 PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella?

    +

    Around 1 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella 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 PRIVATE Florence Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Chef Antonella?

    +
