Shop a vibrant local market with a professional chef, then cook a three-course regional feast paired with fine local wines in a private kitchen. An intimate, hands-on culinary journey that is both delicious and deeply cultural.
What to expect
Your chef guide meets you at the port and leads you through the sensory theatre of the local morning market, selecting seasonal produce, fresh pasta, and the finest local olive oil. Back in the kitchen — a beautifully equipped private space — you roll pasta, build sauces, and plate dishes under expert instruction. Lunch is a three-course feast of your own making, paired with curated regional wines and accompanied by wonderful conversation. You leave with a recipe booklet and, very likely, a new passion.
Good to know
Morning market tours begin early — confirm the 09:00 start is compatible with your disembarkation time. Dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten-free) can be accommodated with advance notice. The session typically runs 4 hours. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little flour on.
