  • Discover the tricks behind great Mediterranean cooking 
  • Prepare traditional dishes that are common to the Sorrento Peninsula and utilize local ingredients

Later, you share experiences heart to heart, hanging out around the table for a very long time with friends; feeling at ease. In Italy, you adore a sweeter, slower existence. You're a long way away from your world and all of its demands.

You love the sensuality of it all. In Sorento Italy, you savour fresh sage, oregano, basil, lemon, wine and rose perfumes wafting around the breeze with the food prep and garden.


Cooking Classes in Tuscany

Tuscan Wine School - Sienna
Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor this wine tasting workshop in Sienna.

In Piedmont, you admire a delicate asparagus flan garnished with purple wildflowers, grated black truffles as well as a fresh green oak leaf using a white plate.

In Sicily, your palette will go wild over roast figs with honey and orange. You use your hands to crush tomatoes for sauce, tear up fresh basil, peel skins off roasted peppers and flatten chicken breasts. Great childlike Italian fun!

It is evident you are enticed by Italian food and wines. The Italians use fresh new ingredients in season. Spring means artichoke, asparagus, sweet pea and seafood dishes in Venice.

Fall is mushrooms, game, truffles in Umbria and Emilia-Romagna: duck with vin santo, pasta with porcini mushrooms and truffles.


Cooking Classes in Capri

Learn to make a 3-course meal using local family recipes. Enjoy your home-cooked meal with wine afterwards. Ideal for Italian food fans


Wines vary from classic full reds like Barolo and Brunello in Piedmont and Tuscany to more rustic reds like Primitivo in southern Puglia. You enjoy dessert wines while you travel, from dry vin santo in Tuscany to sweet, intense Passito in Sicily.

You love hauntingly beautiful landscapes. Cook dinner with chefs in Piedmont's Barolo wine country in northwest Italy, and look out over waves of gentle hills fading into your distance, little valleys, patchwork green hills blanketed in vineyards, forests and fields brimming with fruit and nut trees, hills crowned with imposing medieval castles.


Cooking Classes in Sicily


Cooking Class with a Sicilian Chef! Not to be missed!
On a Sicily cooking tour, you really like artists everywhere. The artwork is most working day life; survey pyramids of smaller and smaller jars of green and black olives and very hot red sauces piled and loaded with the Palermo market. The art of ancient architects… remains of Greek temples stand battered yet tall over a lonely field, staring appear to sea in the golden light of sunset.
Is it any surprise you love people too, ordinary relaxed, sensual atmosphere where you can roam totally free?

In the Barolo wine country in northwest Italy, you cook with chefs inside their restaurants, discover medieval towns, and taste fine wines with vineyard owners who treat you like old friends.
Who can resist the romance of Italy!

Of course, you really like Italian people. They mention life, about feelings, without having pretences. Italians lead busy, complete lives, yet somehow find time for heart-to-heart talks over food and wine.

Rediscover who you are before getting chaotic with responsibilities and things. Was it you who piled a lot of marzipan fruit on top of your dessert you won a prize for your worst decoration, or have you been first to take to the dance floor as soon as the music began?
So proceed, take pleasure in a sensual, hedonistic cooking tour in Italy, just fall in love, bring several of that happiness home along!

Shopping In Venice

Cinderella's Glass Slipper


Venice has long been a place of trade and remains a busy retail center. Though the big name fashion houses are well-represented, the joy of shopping in Venice lies in hunting down those local novelty items.

However if it's brand name fashions you're after, Venice won't disappoint. The island's busiest shopping strip is the Merceri. It  runs all the ways from the Piazza to the Rialto Bridge and almost all the celebrated Italian labels have boutiques here and celebrated prices. Dream on...

For other items, Calle della Mandola is the place to browse books and glass beads. And Campo Santo Stefano is the square for antique hunting.
Carnival is the great event held every February but the masks are manufactured as souvenirs all year-round in Venice's small workshops. You can get everything from full size porcelain masks with a hefty price tag to inexpensive ornaments such as silver earrings in the shape of carnival masks.

The other great specialty of Venice is glassware from the island of Murano. These include such items as vases, clocks and wine bottle caps. And you can also get decorative items such as rings, bracelets or pendants made out of the delightful colored glass.

Glass crafted to perfection!
 Visit Murano by private taxi boat, with glassblowing demonstration and a chance to try on Cinderella's glass slipper. Meander the streets of Murano — including its historical center — en route to the glassblowing factory. Watch artisans create two magnificent glass objects while engaging in the island's most iconic craft. 

These can be very inexpensive and make great souvenirs of Venice. Other delights special to Venice include porcelain dolls and Burano lace work.
