Immerse yourself in the heart of Bologna’s culinary traditions with a private experience that begins in one of the city’s lively markets, such as Mercato del Quadrilatero or Mercato delle Erbe. Stroll among colorful stalls brimming with seasonal fruits, handmade pastas, cheeses, and cured meats as your host introduces you to favorite vendors and explains the origins of these beloved ingredients. After exploring the market, continue to the hosts' welcoming home in the historic center for an intimate hands-on cooking class. Under expert guidance, learn to prepare fresh egg pasta from scratch, perhaps rolling delicate tagliatelle, shaping tortellini, or layering a classic lasagne. Depending on the day’s menu, you may also craft a regional side dish or indulge in a traditional dessert like tiramisu. The experience concludes around the table, where everyone enjoys the homemade feast paired with local wine in true Bolognese style.
