Authentic Pizza-Making Class with Lake Como Views

About this tour

Learn to shape and bake proper Italian pizza in a local home overlooking Lake Como. Over three hours, you'll work with a guide to develop dough, pick vegetables from the garden, and cook your pizzas in a wood-fired oven. Afterwards, eat what you've made in the garden while taking in the lake views, followed by homemade tiramisu and a herbal digestif.

Highlights

• Knead and proof pizza dough using traditional techniques
• Pick tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines and basil from the garden
• Fire your pizzas in a wood-burning oven
• Eat in the garden with panoramic Lake Como vistas
• Finish with house-made tiramisu and mountain-herb liqueur
• Small group, expert-led instruction throughout

What to expect

You'll arrive at a family home and get straight into making dough—mixing, kneading, and letting it rise. Once ready, you'll head to the garden to harvest what's needed for toppings. Back in the kitchen, you'll assemble your pizzas and watch them bake until the crust is charred and crisp. The class wraps with a long table meal in the garden, where you eat your creations with wine, then dessert and a digestif. Expect flour on your hands, a relaxed pace, and genuine guidance from someone who bakes this way regularly.
