In this small-group cooking class of up to 8 people, you tour Venice's Rialto Market with a local chef to pick fresh ingredients, then head to the chef's home to learn to cook. Master key Italian techniques one by one, from tiramisu and authentic tomato sauce to hand-kneaded fresh pasta and a seasonal main course. After class, enjoy the 3-course meal you made for lunch with unlimited wine. You also receive digital recipes so you can recreate the dishes at home.

Meet your chef-guide in front of the Al Mercà wine bar at the Rialto Market. Walk through the market, famous for local produce, seafood and spices, learn how to choose good ingredients and shop for the cooking class yourself. You also get a close look at the lively daily life of Venetians.

When you arrive at the chef's home, roll up your sleeves and start the class. First, mix mascarpone and cookies to make tiramisu, then learn the secrets of an authentic tomato sauce. Depending on the season and market availability, the main course will be fish, parmigiana or risotto.

Make fresh pasta, the foundation of Italian cooking, from scratch. The chef guides you step by step through kneading, rolling and shaping the dough.

After class, enjoy a 3-course lunch of pasta, a fish or vegetable dish and tiramisu with unlimited wine and water in a relaxed atmosphere with music, chatting with the other participants.
※ The experience lasts about 4 hours.
※ On Sundays and Italian public holidays the market is closed, so a longer cooking class takes place instead of the market tour.
※ Afternoon and 6 PM classes do not include the market tour.
