Wine & cheese Lover’s Paradise in hart of Florence

You won't find any other "freedom tasting" in the city.

Why choose it?

For its dynamism, because you will decide how much to spend and no price will be imposed, just the small contribution for the sommelier service. Our expert will be "all yours" and your small group (6 guests) to let you know the wine from all points of view.

So you taste but also history, anecdotes and curiosities in an informal atmosphere.

How does it work and how will you know how much to spend?

You will be given a card and every time you taste the "route" wine you will decide whether to have a small taste or have half a glass or a whole glass and you will know immediately how much you will spend. No surprises.

The activity takes place mainly standing up but you can also sit down if you wish on the comfortable stools.

Once the "tour" with the expert is over, you can also decide to continue your tasting on your own (we have 24 wines for free-style tasting!) and always obtain useful and interesting information.

What To Expect

Savor 8 Exquisite Cheeses & 4 Exceptional Wines Why settle for just one winery or a single cheese producer when you can embark on a journey through Italy’s most authentic and artisanal flavors in one unforgettable experience? Our expertly curated tasting brings together 8 extraordinary cheeses, hand-selected from small, family-run farms across Italy. Indulge in the bold character of rare aged Pecorino, the silky smoothness of delicate robiola, and the irresistible depth of truffle-infused specialties, each crafted with passion and tradition. Paired with these exceptional cheeses are 4 carefully selected natural, biodynamic, and organic wines from Italy’s finest boutique wineries. These wines, made with minimal intervention and deep respect for the land, showcase the purity of Italian terroir in its most authentic form. From vibrant Tuscan reds to elegant, mineral-driven whites, every sip tells a story of small-scale producers dedicated to sustainable, handcrafted winemaking. This is more than just a tasting—it’s a journey through the true soul of Italy’s wine and cheese culture, curated for those who appreciate purity, craftsmanship, and bold, unforgettable flavors.

What a great experience, spending an afternoon in our own kitchen with Chef Vary teaching and coaching us from Florence. There is nothing like making it yourself with your own tools and getting instant feedback from an expert, with Edoardo showing us from several angles what she was doing as she coached us on technique, . We learned how to make authentic pasta, and put it all together in a fantastic dinner. We know this is starting us on a path of many more homemade pasta meals with our new skills! Thank you, Chef Vary and Edoardo for such a great class and dinner!
Fabulous!

Chef Vary was simply wonderful! She explained each step in complete detail, was fun, patient, and made this experience as great as it possibly could be. We will absolutely take another virtual cooking class with her, and when we make it to Italy we for sure will take her class in person! We would recommend Chef Vary to anyone! We can't say enough good about her and her class!
Superb Family activity!

Fantastic on-line Italian cooking class. Chef Vary is a very talented, accomplished and knowledgeable Chef. Chef Vary has a great flair for cooking and shared many very useful tips. She was informative, helpful and patient and catered for a range of abilities. The class was a birthday present and the on-line format meant that we cooked at home and spent precious family together. In 2.5 hours we learned to make our own Gnocchi as well as Ravioli from scratch and a delicious pasta sauce. After logging off we sat together and enjoyed a DELICIOUS family meal. We shall cherish these precious memories. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Fantastic Virtual Experience!

My parents were supposed to go to Italy this April, but weren't able to due to covid. So instead we brought Italy to them :) My mom and I did the online cooking class together and we all had a delicious Italian meal that night. Chef Vary was friendly and explained her techniques very well. Her camera setup was advanced, so were were able to see a front, side, and birds eye view of what she was doing. Thanks again, it was deliziosa!
Wonderful experience!

Chef Vary and her husband were such a pleasure to work with! My husband, mother in-law, mother and I loved the 2 hour cooking class that we took via skype! Chef Vary sent us about 25 different dishes to select from. She also provided a list of all necessary kitchen equipment and ingredients so we were properly prepared for the class. The two dishes that Vary taught us to make were fun and easy to create and incredibly delicious! Vary was a great teacher and has incredible warmth. We had never taken a virtual cooking class before but we loved it! They have a great setup in their kitchen with multiple camera angles so we could really see and learn everything we needed to. We made an authentic Italian feast in Illinois! We would recommend this class to all! Thank you so much, Chef Vary!
