The 10 Best Farm Tours in Florence

1.Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,801 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Leave central Florence for a private hilltop estate, where chef-instructors guide you through handmade pasta or pizza, traditional sauces, and gelato. The six-hour class includes focaccia, wine or beer, a three-course meal, recipes, and a cooking diploma. Expect a social, hands-on afternoon with striking views and a group of up to 26.

“We loved the experience! Chefs Tiziano, Ludoviro and Chris were wonderful teachers and warm hosts. It would have been very helpful to have known to dress for the weather since the activities took place in space sheltered from the elements but still subject to the outside temperature. We would have dressed warmer for a cold December day and enjoyed the cooking and dining even more.”
