Bergamo Cooking Class: 3 Recipes with Wine Tasting

Cook three regional recipes in a home kitchen, then eat them with local wine

A private cooking class at a Cesarina's home in Bergamo where you learn to make three authentic regional dishes, cook them yourself at your own workstation, and taste everything you've prepared with a selection of local red and white wines. The class runs three hours and takes place in a carefully selected local home. You choose the morning or afternoon time slot at checkout. English and Italian guides available.

The experience

You arrive at a local home in Bergamo or the surrounding area and work through three authentic regional recipes with your Cesarina host. Each participant gets a full workstation with utensils and all ingredients ready. The menu changes with the season but typically includes a regional starter, a pasta or risotto dish (Pizzoccheri, Risotto, or Lasagna are common), and a traditional dessert like Sbrisolona cake or Tiramisu. You're not watching a demonstration. You're cooking, with the Cesarina guiding you through the techniques and revealing the tricks that make these dishes work.

After three hours, you sit down to taste everything you've made, accompanied by a selection of local red and white wines and coffee. Water is provided throughout. The Cesarina network spans over 1,000 home cooks across Italy, and these hosts open their own kitchens specifically for this kind of hands-on experience. The address is kept private until after you book, but public transportation options are available nearby if you need them.
