Tuscany Cooking Classes

Experience the true heart of Tuscan hospitality with a cooking class

Our farmhouse cooking classes are available throughout Tuscany. Ariela's team collaborates with the region's best farms to create the perfect culinary experience tailored to your group's specific needs and preferences.

Upon request, we can arrange a foraging hike combined with a cooking class, where you’ll stroll through the picturesque countryside, gather edible and medicinal plants, and use them to prepare a delightful meal.

"We did multiple tours with Ariela so i couldn't pick just one. This was a very special trip that required a lot of planning. Ariela listened, understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us plan a trip of a lifetime. She became a part of the family so it was not just booking a tour but it was working with someone that really cared about us in helping you create an exceptional experience. She is extremely well connected so was able to leverage many different types of tours and guides who were also excellent. The trip would not have been the same without her."

"We enjoyed her book so much that we contacted Ariela and scheduled 2 tours, Chianti and Montepulciano. We visited several wineries, a farm where we had a lovely lunch and sampled cheeses, Pienza and San Gimignamo. If we visited the area again, we would definitely use her tour service again."

"Ariela is the expert every "foodie" needs when visiting Tuscany. She arranged a wonderful day for us, including cheese and wine tasting at a goat farm, a lovely lunch in the countryside, and a private wine tour. Our day with Arilea was one of the highlights of our trip! Her expertise and knowledge of food made for an educational and delicious day."

"Ariela was absolutely amazing! She made our trip to Italy so memorable! She made a wonderful itinerary for us based on what we wanted to do and it was perfect. We met her in Florence for a half day tour where she educated us on all types of food; took us to the local market, coffee shop, butcher and other specialty shops. Great day seeing Florence without all the tourists. We highly recommend her!"

​​"As soon as we read Ariela's book about Tuscany we knew we'd like to do a tour with her. I'm glad to say that the experience exceeded our expectations. She took us to places that we would have never found on our own and helped us experience Tuscany like a local. The venues that she selected for the foodie dinner tour were lovely. I can't recommend her highly enough!"

"Ariela planned the most wonderful tour in Tuscany for our family group that ranged from small children to grandparents.  She found ways to make it meaningful and enjoyable for all involved as we worked our way through a fantastic cheese farm to a gorgeous vineyard and back to the town for some of the best gelato in the world.  We all agreed it was one of our favorite days of our Tuscany vacation and that was largely in part to Ariela!"
