Market tour and 3-course dinner in Verona with a local host

You eat what your host learned to make from her family's recipes.

A four-hour market tour and shared dining experience in Verona where you visit a local market with a guide, then cook and eat a three-course meal (starter, pasta, and tiramisu) in a Cesarina's home alongside other travelers who love Italian food. The guide speaks English or Italian, and beverages including wine and coffee are included.

The experience

Four hours starts at the market. You walk through the stalls with your guide, learning what grows when and which ingredients the Cesarina uses in her kitchen. The market is where locals shop, not a tourist stop, so you see what the season actually holds and what the region actually cooks with. From there you head to your host's home.

The dining happens in her kitchen and at her table. You do not sit down to a meal someone else made. You take part in making it. The starter, the pasta, the tiramisu. These come from her family's cookbooks, the dishes she grew up eating and learned to cook. Wine, water and coffee come with the meal. You eat with the other guests on the tour, people who signed up for the same reason you did.

The group stays small, and the guide is there throughout: in English or Italian, whichever you need. Public transport runs near the meeting point, so you can reach it without a car.

• Market tour with a live guide.
• three-course meal (starter, pasta, tiramisu) prepared in your host's home.

Book this if you want to learn how an Italian home cook actually uses the market, not just eat a prepared meal.
