Florian Cottage

Florian Cottage offers intimate, hands-on cooking classes and culinary workshops in the heart of the Huon Valley, Tasmania, a short drive from Hobart. The farmhouse property overlooks the Huon River, with perennial gardens in a rural setting.

Guided by a qualified chef, small groups learn to make food from scratch using seasonal produce sourced from the surrounding valley. Classes are highly personalised, with just a handful of participants per workshop, allowing plenty of opportunity to get involved, ask questions and learn new techniques. Workshops cover simple, approachable skills, from sourdough baking to paddock-to plate cooking, with an emphasis on understanding how seasonal ingredients can be transformed into something wonderful.

The Huon Valley is known for its cool climate produce and scenic river landscapes, and Florian Cottage captures the character of the region, bringing fresh local flavours and rural charm together in one setting. Rather than simply following a recipe, participants learn the principles behind each dish, building the confidence to recreate it at home.

Florian Cottage is a place to slow down, take in the valley surrounds and enjoy the company of a small group while learning new culinary skills.
