About this tour
Spend five hours in Bergamo learning to cook two regional classics alongside a local Cesarina host. You'll start in the market selecting seasonal ingredients, then move to their home for hands-on lessons in making fresh pasta and tiramisu. The morning culminates in sitting down together to eat what you've made, paired with local wines. It's a straightforward introduction to how Bergamasque cooks actually think about food, shared with a small group of fellow travellers.

What to expect
Your host will collect you and walk through the market, pointing out what's good right now and why. Back at their home, you'll have a glass of Prosecco and snacks, then tie on your apron. Expect about two hours of actual cooking—rolling pasta dough, shaping it, layering tiramisu. Your host will show you technique, let you lead the work, and correct gently. Once everything's ready, you'll sit at a table and eat together. The wine and coffee come out. Conversation happens naturally; there's no script.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The group is small—usually four to eight people. Public transport is nearby if you're not being collected. Dietary requirements can be accommodated if you mention them when booking.
