About this tour
Sit down to a four-course meal in an Astigiano home where your host—one of Italy's Cesarine network—cooks traditional recipes from family collections right in front of you. Watch as they prepare a starter, pasta, main with vegetables, and dessert, paired with regional wines, water and coffee. Two and a half hours of genuine Italian hospitality, no theatre, just real food and real people sharing what they know.

What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and settle in for an evening of cooking and eating. Rather than sitting down to a finished meal, you watch them work through each course—ask questions, see techniques, understand why they do what they do. The kitchen becomes the focal point. Between courses, conversation happens naturally. Wines arrive with food; coffee finishes things off. It's unhurried, domestic, the sort of meal you'd have if you'd married into an Italian family.
Good to know
Public transport reaches the location easily. The host maintains hand sanitiser, paper towels and sanitary standards. A one-metre distance is preferred; masks and gloves available if needed. Suitable for all fitness levels.
