4-course Dinner in the Roman countryside

About this tour

Spend an evening at Claudia's rural Roman home, where you'll harvest vegetables straight from her garden, prepare a four-course meal together, and eat beneath the stars. This five-hour dinner includes locally pressed olive oil and her own wine—red or white—paired with straightforward Italian cooking that's been feeding her family for generations. You'll work alongside your host in her kitchen and discover how Romans actually eat when there's no tourist menu in sight.

Highlights

• Pick vegetables directly from Claudia's garden before cooking
• Prepare four courses alongside your Italian host
• Taste freshly pressed olive oil from her property
• Dine in a working countryside home, not a restaurant
• Sample Claudia's homemade red or white wine
• Learn traditional Roman family recipes hands-on

What to expect

You'll arrive at Claudia's house in the Roman countryside and start by walking through her garden to select the evening's ingredients. Back in her kitchen, she'll guide you through preparing a proper four-course dinner—nothing fussy, just the food Romans cook at home. You'll chop, stir, taste as you go. Once everything's ready, you'll sit down to eat what you've made, washing it down with her wine and olive oil. Expect a relaxed pace and genuine conversation rather than slick hospitality.
