Most cooking classes in Florence take place in modern kitchens or crowded restaurants, but with us, you'll be cooking traditional Italian recipes inside a private, 14th century Florentine palace. With Roman floors underfoot and centuries-old frescoes above, you'll make fresh pasta and tiramisu in a setting that feels straight out of history. It’s an unforgettable way to learn Italian cooking, far from the usual classroom experience.

Guide tips
Meet at your guide at Innocenti Wines
Meet your expert chef and guide at Innocenti Wines, near the palace. Your small group will gather for a brief introduction before receiving exclusive access to the private, historic Florentine palace—an architectural marvel rarely open to the public.
Tour a 14th-century palace
Explore the rooms of this 14th-century palace, where noble families once lived. Admire stunning frescoes on the walls and ceilings while your guide highlights significant artwork, including the earliest known portrait of Dante Alighieri.
Cook in an ancient basement
Descend into the palace’s ancient basement, where remnants of Roman floors and medieval wool-making structures create a truly historic kitchen setting. This is where your hands-on cooking class begins!
Make pasta and tiramisu
Roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare the 'pasta trinity' from scratch: silky tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi, and flavorful potato ravioli. Then master a sweet treat, layering mascarpone and coffee-soaked biscuits to create tiramisu.
End your tour with a communal meal and unlimited wine
End your tour with a sit-down, communal meal to enjoy the fresh pasta and tiramisu you just created. The meal is complemented by unlimited Tuscan wine, offering the perfect end to your hands-on class and time to chat about Italian food and history.

This was the best experience we had in Florence from the kneading of dough to the layering of mascarpone was thrilling. Our chef was full of energy with great humor. We departed feeling like masters of the kitchen and savoured the best and most authentic tiramisu ever. Great price and a great memory!

We LOVED The Tour Guy’s Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class! It was such a wonderful way to learn more about Florentine culture from rolling of the pasta to the making of the tiramisu was fun. We learned alot not only about how to cook but about Italian culinary traditions. The fresh, tasty food we made ourselves with excellent local wine was an experience.

This Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class was a delightful mix of learning and fun. Our chef was wonderful – patient and funny. We were taught the real way to create fresh pasta from scratch and moulded various types before we progressed to the heavenly tiramisu recipe. The kitchen itself was well supplied and had a nice, warm Italian feel. The best part other than the cooking was definitely breaking bread together. I returned home stuffed and confidently armed with new cooking skills.
Absolutely delightful
