Easy cooking class, buying ingredients with locals

Cooking Class in Tuscany: if you’re anything like me, you don’t just want to eat Italian food—you want to live it.

WFTI Wine and Food Tours in Italy, under the direction of the expert Mr. Marco Tenerini, is immensely proud to invite you to a day of unparalleled immersion in the Tuscan culinary lifestyle.

We’ve all done the touristy spots, but if you’re craving that "under the Tuscan sun" magic where you actually feel like a local, this is the ultimate game-changer.

Forget the crowded plazas; we’re heading deep into the heart of Tuscany to the tiny hilltop villages of the Pisan Hills that haven’t changed in a hundred years.

The Ultimate "Shop Like a Local" Adventure

First off, we’re not just hitting a grocery store. We’re going on a literal flavor hunt.

You’ll be paired with a local pro to navigate these charming, off-the-beaten-path villages.

Imagine walking into a tiny macelleria (butcher shop) or a fragrant bakery where everyone knows each other’s names.

You’ll get to chat with the vendors, ask for their secrets on the best cuts of meat, and hand-pick the freshest seasonal produce.

It’s authentic, it’s soul-warming, and you’re actually helping support these beautiful small communities.

It’s farm-to-table in its purest form.

The Kitchen: Where the Magic Happens

Once our bags are stuffed with goodness, it’s time to head to the kitchen.

You’ll be working side-by-side with a private Tuscan chef who’s basically the "nonna" we all wish we had.

This isn’t a boring lecture; it’s a hands-on masterclass in Italian soul food. You’ll learn the art of a traditional three-course lunch—the kind of recipes that have been whispered down through generations.

What’s on the menu?

• The shopping: 60 minutes of pure village immersion.
• The class: A private, 3-course culinary journey.
• The goods: Everything is included—food, materials, and a personal apron to take home.
• The "Study Material": A cute booklet for all those "secret ingredient" notes.
• The Feast (And Yes, the Wine!) Let’s be real: we’re here for the lunch.
• After you’ve put in the work, you get to sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
• And because it’s Tuscany, the wine is flowing. We’re talking unlimited farm-fresh red and white wine, perfectly paired to make those flavors pop.

And just when you think you can’t take another bite?

• We’re topping it all off with a gelato tasting back in the village.

It’s the perfect "chef’s kiss" to a perfect day.

If you want to go home with more than just a souvenir - if you want the skills to cook like a true Italian housewife - this is your bucket-list moment.
