• Our food tech tours of Florence allow pupils to discover more about the culture, language and art of Tuscany while finding out more about the ingredients and dishes that are typical of the region.

  • The Boboli Gardens

    The Boboli Gardens are a wonderful area of open parkland set on a hillside overlooking Florence. The views, landscaped gardens and sculptures make for the perfect area to relax and enjoy the scenery within the very heart of the city. This is a great place to enjoy a packed lunch full of Italian meats, cheeses, olives, bread, and fruit.

  • The Language of Italian Food

    The more you find out about Italian food the more you realise the correlation with Italian language & culture. Your pupils can learn practical Italian while cooking in the classroom, shopping in the market and reading recipes for information. Our language courses start from the beginning of your tour and can be structured to allow learning through first-hand experiences.

  • Cookery School

    We recommend the Scuola Toscana to teach our pupils how to cook the Tuscan way. This is a hands-on method of learning which enables pupils to make complete Italian meals from pasta to meats, from appetizers to desserts. All levels of catering skills will be taken into consideration and classes can be tailor-made for your group.
