Dolce Vita Farmer’s Market Tour & Tuscan Tasting
Tour & Tasting
Italians know how to enjoy their life, the dolce vita! I live in the center of Florence, the charming Sant’Ambrogio. I’m inviting you to explore my neighborhood, and the local farmer’s market and experience the authentic flavors this city has to offer. To start our morning the Florentine way, it will begin with a cappuccino. After visiting my favorite coffee spot, we will meet the bustling crowds of the Sant’Ambrogio market to check out the vibrant seasonal vegetables and fruits from my Sicilian friends. We’ll work our way inside the market to sample some local Tuscan cheeses and salumis. After, we will get a chance to try some Tuscan classics and specials with the best quality meats by chef, Leo. These bites are better than what you might find in any restaurant in town. The next stop on our food train is to try some schiacciata sandwiches from my favorite local spot that specializes in this Florentine treat, made with Tuscan flatbread filled with delicious spreads, salumi, and cheeses. Last but not least, something sweet! We will have a bite of some unforgettable biscotti and a scoop of heavenly gelato to end our time together.
Note: Tastings will be paired with wine and accommodations can be made for vegetarians.
Approximately 2.5 HRS
This class option is perfect for those that love walking through farmer’s markets, want to check out what’s in season in Tuscany, and taste local flavors
It is impossible to think about Italy without thinking of delicious Italian food. Food is at the heart of Italian gatherings, and at these gatherings, we’re always talking about what we’ll eat at our next meal. I’ve always LOVED pasta so much that I decided to move to Italy and pursue a culinary career and learn from the experts on how to make fresh pasta. I’ve been living in Italy for 7 years (and counting!), and the farmer’s market has become like my second home. I want to share some of my special spots, how locals shop, and a highly curated food walk of some very special bites.
