Learn to cook authentic Tuscan dishes with a private chef — then explore Florence and Venice with a private guide. This 10-day incredible private culinary vacation begins with 3 days of hands-on cooking classes near Tuscany on Mt. Fumaiolo, followed by four transformative days in Florence and 3 in Venice. You’ll master regional dishes with Chef Stefano in his historic home, discover small medieval villages, taste local wines, and end your journey immersed in a world-class cultural city.
Your voyage starts with 4 days of cooking and exploring the Apennine foothills near Mt. Fumaiolo — visiting markets, villages and artisan producers with Chef Stefano.
Then you’ll make incredible memories in two of the most iconic destinations in Italy:
We’ll take care of all the details so every moment and memory is yours to savor.
A complete, detailed day-by-day itinerary will be customized around your interests and finalized based on seasonality and opening schedules.
Special note: Museo dell’Accademia and Museo del Bargello can be added to the schedule according to your interest.
During your immersive cooking class experience you’ll have exclusive access to Chef Stefano’s 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom historic stone house — completely private for you and your group. This 19th-century retreat features charming antiques, two fireplaces, a traditional stone oven, and a peaceful garden along the early waters of the Tevere (Tiber) River. It’s quiet, authentic, and the perfect place to unwind after a day of cooking and exploring.
After your cooking classes, you’ll spend 3 nights in a charming boutique property right in the historic heart of Florence — just steps from Piazza Signoria and a short walk to Ponte Vecchio. You’ll be close to cafés, wine bars, artisan shops, and quiet Renaissance streets where locals live and gather. It’s the perfect base to explore the city on foot, enjoy evening aperitivo, and soak up Florence’s art and culture at your own pace.
You’ll soak in 3 nights in a historic boutique hotel tucked away in a more authentic part of Venice — close enough to walk to famous sights, yet far from the busiest tourist paths. Enjoy calm canals, small cicchetti bars, local markets, and the beauty of Venice at dawn and dusk. With your base in a real neighborhood, you’ll experience Venice the way locals do, without worrying about logistics or navigation.
