Wine Tasting in Como: 7 Italian Wines with Food PairingA wine tasting class in Como pairs seven carefully selected Italian wines with local gastronomic specialties—cured meat, cheese, porcini and anchovies—while a professional sommelier walks you through tasting notes, grape varieties and winemaking methods. The experience takes place in Capitan Drake, a refined wine shop steps from the old city walls and a 10-minute walk from the train station. You choose whether you want red, white or sparkling wines, and vegetarian options are available on request. Non-drinkers are welcome with soft drinks and other non-alcoholic alternatives.Is it for me?Book this if you want to learn how to taste wine and understand what you're drinking, not just sample a few glasses. The sommelier's guidance and the two-hour pace make it a class, not a quick stop—you'll actually remember the differences between the wines and the regions they come from.
Lake Como Food Tour: 5 tastings with local guideA small-group food tour of Lake Como led by an English-speaking local guide, tasting five traditional dishes at carefully chosen stops across the city. The tour runs 3.5 hours and includes an English-Italian guide, water, one alcoholic beverage, and the equivalent of a full meal; other languages available on request. Groups stay small so every guest gets the guide's full attention and insider knowledge about the history and traditions behind each dish.Is it for me?Book the lunch or dinner option depending on when you want to eat your way through the city—both follow the same route and tastings, just at different times of day. The small-group format means your guide can answer questions and linger at each stop instead of moving a crowd through, so you get the insider knowledge that makes the difference between a food tour and a real introduction to how Como eats.
Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Varenna: Learn From a LocalA small-group cooking class in Varenna where you learn to roll fresh pasta by hand, make two pasta recipes from scratch, and prepare tiramisu in a Cesarina's home kitchen. The class runs three hours with a live English or Italian-speaking guide, includes an Italian aperitivo, and ends with tasting your dishes paired with local wine. Maximum twelve people per session.Is it for me?Book this class if you want to learn recipes you can actually cook at home, not just watch a chef work—the hands-on format and small group size mean you get real guidance, and the three-hour window gives you time to move slowly through each dish without rushing.
Como: Home Cooking Class & Meal in Local HouseYou’ll step into a real Como home for hands-on cooking with a local host, learn family recipes for pasta and dessert, then sit down together for lunch or dinner with regional wines. Expect laughter over lopsided ravioli, stories at the table, and the kind of warmth that lingers long after you leave.
Bellagio Wine Tasting: 6 Terrae III Wines with Lake Como ViewsA guided tasting of 6 Terrae III wines at a scenic location above Bellagio, Lake Como, paired with charcuterie and hosted in an elegant indoor tasting room or garden setting depending on weather. Round-trip pickup from Bellagio town is included, and a live English-speaking guide introduces the connection between Lake Como, Valtellina alpine vineyards, and California. Minimum age is 18.Is it for me?Choose the standard tasting if you want a full introduction to Terrae III in a relaxed afternoon without the extra wines; pick the VIP option if you're interested in comparing the house wines with a special vintage and spending more time on the deeper story.
Wine Tasting with Chef Luigi Gandola in BellagioWine tasting with food pairing at Restaurant Salice Blu in Bellagio, led by professional sommelier Chef Luigi Gandola in the wine cellar. You taste local and Italian wines, learn about grape varieties and production methods, and sample food pairings chosen by the chef. The experience includes bottled water and is suitable for all fitness levels; minimum age is 18.Is it for me?The tasting is led by Chef Luigi, so you learn as you taste rather than tasting on your own -- it suits anyone who wants to understand wine instead of just drinking it. If you prefer to choose your own wines without instruction, or if you want a full meal rather than a focused tasting, the fine dining option at checkout gives you that instead.
