Guidekin's take

A four course traditional Italian meal cooked by you in a small group with chefs who have taught for decades, each course paired with a local wine and a keepsake to take home.

Class, meal, ingredients and wine pairings are included at €111 per person. The listing is short on specifics, so ask what the menu is and whether diets can be handled.

In our comparison: #142 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

    • Market visits introduce local ingredients before the cooking begins
