Shopping and cooking in Florence
Are you ready to enjoy the lunch of your dreams? This tour will allow you to get to know Florence in a way that is as alternative as it is exquisite and tasty, exploring the city center and admiring monuments and buildings among which the small grocery stores where Florentines shop for food are hidden.
An unparalleled food and wine experience awaits you: you will buy fresh produce in small joints, away from the neon of supermarkets and large distribution, choosing the best and most suitable products, assisted by the wise guidance of your private chef. It’s your chance to witness and... smell a slice of daily life in today's Florence, still so rich in old habits and traditions.
When you have everything you need, you will move to the building that houses our exclusive cooking school.
