Turin Walking Tour & Cooking Class: Learn Piedmontese Cuisine

Cook a traditional Turin dish, then eat it with Piedmontese wine

A three-hour class in Turin combines a guided walk through the city's historic streets and food markets with a hands-on cooking lesson in a local home. You'll learn to prepare a traditional Piedmontese dish using fresh regional ingredients, then enjoy your homemade meal paired with local wine in an authentic home setting.

The experience

The walk starts in Turin's elegant center, moving through historic streets to local markets and artisan food shops where your guide points out the fresh, high-quality Piedmontese ingredients that define the region's cooking. You'll see what the markets stock, how locals shop, and which producers matter: the foundation before you cook anything. After roughly an hour of walking and discovery, you head to a home kitchen where the hands-on class begins.

In the kitchen, you learn to prepare one traditional Turin dish from scratch, working with the same ingredients you just saw in the markets. The instruction is live, in English or Italian, and you're doing the cooking, not watching a demonstration. Once the dish is ready, you sit down to eat what you made, paired with a glass of Piedmontese wine, in the warm setting of someone's home rather than a restaurant or classroom.

Public transportation stops are nearby if you need them. The whole experience runs three hours from start to finish.
