1.Small group PURO Vegan pasta and bruschette Class in Florence

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $186Our pick

At Chef Vary’s Florence kitchen, you’ll make three vegan pasta dishes, bruschetta, and seasonal sauces with chefs such as Giulio, Roberto, or Vary. The 2.5-hour class includes wine, recipes, and a shared meal. Confirm dietary needs carefully, since some sessions may include vegetarian dishes with eggs or cheese.

“Despite saying the word ‘vegan’ multiple times, this class is NOT vegan and is only vegetarian. When the instructor found out I was vegan she chastised me for ‘not reading carefully enough’. She added an extra vegan pasta to the recipes we were cooking, which I appreciated, but was visibly annoyed.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $162Best value

Join Antonella La Macchia and Ricardo 15 minutes from Florence for a hands-on vegetarian cooking class limited to six people. Make fresh pasta, a seasonal starter, and dessert from scratch, then sit down with wine to enjoy the meal and take home a recipe booklet.

“We had a wonderful time during our cooking class with Antonella! She and her husband Ricardo welcomed us into their home and were so gracious with their hospitality. We loved getting to learn so much about how to effectively make pasta, and it was fun being completely hands on with making the meals. Antonella was very patient and kind in her teaching style. We came out of it feeling very capable to make pasta on our own. This was a wonderful memory from our trip!”
