Learn to Make Pizza Where It Originated

If there’s one food that Italy is known for, it’s pizza. So why not learn to make this iconic dish in its country of origin? On a small group pizza making tour in Rome, you’ll learn the art and science of pizza making from masters of the craft. Make the dough, choose your toppings, and wrap up the class by munching on your freshly baked creations–with a perfectly paired glass of Italian wine on the side, of course.

Go Wine Tasting in Chianti

While pizza is Italy’s most well-known food, wine claims the title of the country’s most well-known beverage. All of Tuscany has made a name for itself in the viticulture world, but Chianti is one of the few Tuscan regions with a wine named after it. As luck would have it, you can experience a dedicated Chianti wine tasting tour that departs from Florence. On this excursion, you’ll visit a historic wine estate, where you’ll take a peek at the well-stocked cellars and enjoy an absolutely unbeatable wine tasting experience.

Craft a Traditional Tuscan Meal

Tuscan food is just as beloved as Tuscan wine. During a traditional Tuscan cooking class, you’ll take fresh, local ingredients and create a delicious four-course meal to remember. While the courses often change based on what’s in season, there’s one classic dish you’re guaranteed to make: fresh pasta. Not only will you get to enjoy an authentic regional meal on this excursion, but you’ll also get to take your new skills home with you for a taste of Italy whenever you’re craving it.

Pair Coffee with Gelato for the Perfect Day in Rome

Treat yourself to two hours of the best coffee and gelato in Rome on a dedicated tour. With multiple stops at the city’s best gelaterias and cafes, you’ll experience a true taste of Roman dolce vita. To top it all off, you’ll finish with an exquisite slice of tiramisu, which many call the best in town.

Discover the Art of Cooking a Florentine Steak

While many think of Italian food as pasta, pizza, gelato, and wine, there’s more to this country’s rich food culture. For example, the city of Florence has made a name for itself with the ever-classic Florentine steak.
