Join a locally celebrated chef for a private morning market tour, followed by an intimate hands-on cooking class using the day's freshest ingredients. The most delicious, culturally rich two hours you will spend ashore.
What to expect
Meet your chef at the entrance to a vibrant covered market brimming with local produce, spices, and artisan goods. As you wander stall by stall, the chef translates ingredients, negotiates with vendors, and reveals the culinary culture behind each product. Back in the chef's private kitchen, you learn two or three signature dishes from scratch — knife skills, sauce technique, plating. The session ends around a table with a glass of local wine, tasting everything you made, before a comfortable transfer back to the pier.
Good to know
Dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies) are accommodated with advance notice. Arrive on an empty stomach — portions are generous. Market mornings are best before 10 am, so this works perfectly as a first-off-ship excursion.
