As you explore, your chef will select fresh fish or seasonal vegetables for your cooking class, depending on availability. Then, leave the bustle of the market behind and head to the Cannaregio district, where a welcoming home kitchen awaits.

Here, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking experience that goes beyond making pasta.
