Fantastic Vegan Cooking Class!
Our family of five had a wonderful experience at Good Tastes of Tuscany. We signed up for the Vegan cooking class and couldn’t have been happier with our chef instructor Alicia. We started with coffee in the villa as we were briefed on the five courses we would be preparing. We made homemade pici pasta and the accompanying sauce, an excellent bean dish, an eggplant dish, stuffed artichokes and poached pears. Alicia was a fun, organized and knowledgeable instructor and the food was fantastic! We all sat down family style at the end with nice wine and enjoyed our creations. We would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend
My husband and I learned so much in this class! We aren’t the best cooks but the chef was very knowledgeable. We learned to make ravioli, stuff zucchini flowers and many other courses. Everything was wonderful!
Response from the operator: Hi, Glad to hear you enjoyed the cooking class. We do have weekly and monthly classes and look forward to hosting you in one of those program, Have a lovely year ahead.

Nice experience!
Very nice day ! The chef Luciano was great ! However I wish the but menu would have included more meat than seafood and fish ...
Response from the operator: Hi, Thanks for your review. We make the menu based on the guests preference. If we had known earlier about your meat preference, we would have designed accordingly. I look forward to meet you in our class when you come to Florence again.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $218 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 Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence take?
+
Plan for about 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 Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence?
+
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 Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Semi Private Cooking Class in Private Villa with Optional Market Visit and Transfer from Florence 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.
