Cooking class in Verona: Learn 3 Verona recipes at a local's home

Cook three Verona recipes and eat them with wine at your instructor's table

A private cooking class in Verona held at a local home cook's kitchen, where you learn to make three regional dishes: a starter, fresh pasta (ravioli, risotto or gnocchi), and dessert, then taste everything you've prepared with local red and white wines. The class runs three hours and includes all ingredients, utensils and beverages. You choose between a morning session with lunch or an afternoon one with dinner.

The experience

What makes this different from a restaurant cooking demo is that you're working in someone's actual home kitchen, not a commercial space. Each participant gets their own workstation with full equipment and ingredients already laid out. A local home cook (part of Cesarine, a network of over 1,000 hosts across Italy) walks you through the techniques for three dishes that matter in Verona: a seasonal starter, a fresh pasta dish (you pick ravioli, risotto or gnocchi), and a regional dessert. You're not watching. You're doing the work, and the host reveals the practical tricks that make the difference.

After the cooking finishes, you sit down to eat everything you've made. The meal comes with a selection of local red and white wines, water and coffee. The whole experience takes three hours. You can book either the morning class, which ends with lunch, or the afternoon masterclass, which finishes with dinner. Pick whichever fits the rest of your day in Verona. The host speaks English or Italian, and public transportation stops are nearby if you need them.
