Hands-On Pasta Class: 3 Recipes, Endless Wine
Master traditional pasta and tiramisu in a private, historic Florentine palace
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.
- Meet at Innocenti Wines
- Tour a 14th-century palace
- Cook in an ancient basement
- Make pasta and tiramisu
- Enjoy unlimited wine

Step Inside the Palace... And History!

The Pasta Trinity
Begin your culinary journey in the palace’s ancient basement, where Roman floors and medieval wool-making remnants set a unique scene. Guided by expert chefs, roll up your sleeves and craft three classic pasta dishes from scratch (silky tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi, and flavorful ravioli) while learning time-honored techniques and enjoying a little fun (and flour) along the way.
Final Sweet Treat
No Italian meal is complete without dessert. Master the art of tiramisu, layering mascarpone, coffee-soaked biscuits, and cocoa into a perfect finale. Then, sit down to enjoy your creations with a relaxed communal meal, complemented by unlimited Tuscan wine and lively conversation.

This class was a highlight. We learned how to make two fantastic pastas and the perfect tiramisu. Our chef was very entertaining and seemed passionate, loved eating what we made and sipping wine. Great way to see Florence.
