Cooking Classes

In Italy, the best table in town isn’t at a Michelin-starred restaurant—it’s in the heart of a local home. Our Lake Garda cooking experiences invite you to step away from the tourist path and into the kitchens of local authentic cooks and prfessioanl chefs.
From the sun-drenched olive groves of Bardolino to the medieval streets of Sirmione, we offer more than a recipe; we offer a seat at our family table.

Authentic Home Cooking with a local
Leave the restaurant crowds behind and be welcomed into a private kitchen by a local passionate guardian of Italy’s culinary heritage. This isn’t just a cooking class; it’s a cultural exchange that begins with a warm welcome and ends with a shared feast.
Under the patient guidance of your host, you will uncover and put into practice the secrets behind family recipes passed down through generations. From homemade pasta to indredible delicious desserts.
The experience concludes in the most Italian way possible: gathered around the dining table to enjoy the fruits of your labor, paired with carefully selected local wines and spirited conversation.

Vineyard Escape: Cooking & Wine Tasting in the Hills
Travel into the lush hills overlooking the lake for a day of sophisticated flavors and breathtaking views. This curated journey begins with a guided walk through the estate’s vineyards.
Led by a professional chef, you will prepare a menu designed to complement the estate’s finest labels. From a vibrant risotto infused with local wine to delicate meat or vegetable courses seasoned with Garda’s “liquid gold” olive oil, you will explore the relationship between the soil and the plate.

Market-to-Table: A Lakeside Senses Tour & Class
Begin your morning like a local insider as you navigate the vibrant stalls of a traditional Lake Garda market. Guided by a culinary expert, you will hand-pick seasonal ingredients—from sun-ripened lemons to artisanal mountain cheeses.
This experience focuses on the “Zero-KM” philosophy. You’ll learn how to handle delicate lake fish and wild herbs, creating light, Mediterranean-inspired dishes that celebrate the freshness of the water. It is the ultimate experience for those who want to combine a love of local life with high-end gastronomy.
