Milan market-to-table cooking with a private chef, hands-on five-course lunch, Prosecco, wine, and espresso, plus recipes to take home.

Milan market shopping and a private Cesarina cooking class, finishing with a 3-course meal and local wine in a home setting.

Como food tour with Mercato Coperto farmers market, espresso, cheese and charcuterie, wine tasting, gelato, and scenic piazzas.
“We enjoyed the entire journey from the first taste of coffee to the market and lastly the wine with the meats and cheeses. Included of course was the enjoyable conversation. Although it was all wonderful we enjoyed the end relacing with the wine and intercange of conversation the best.”
