Authentic Friuli - Venezia Giulia cooking tours run all year with a minimum of 1 participant. They last from 3 to 5 nights and combine cooking lessons with market tours, winery visits, sightseeing excursions, walks and other interesting activities. Daily cooking lessons are also available.
Cooking classes:
Depending on the number of participants, cooking classes take place either in the welcoming and equipped kitchens of Rosina's and Rita's charming homes near the town center (1-4 participants) or in the spacious kitchen of a nearby beautifully restored country cottage with a nice orchard garden and splendid views over the Matajur mountain, the Natisone valleys and the enchanting countryside (5-10 participants).
All classes, limited to 8-10 participants, are hands-on and last approximately 3 hours, followed by lunch or dinner. Meals feature foods prepared during class and consist of three/four courses accompanied by local wines.
