About this tour
Spend five hours in Gubbio learning to cook two signature dishes alongside a local Cesarina host. You'll start at the weekly market, picking seasonal produce with an expert's eye, then move to her home kitchen for hands-on lessons in making fresh pasta and tiramisu. The morning wraps with a proper tasting of everything you've cooked, paired with regional wines. Small group setting means genuine conversation with fellow food enthusiasts and your host—no scripts, just real Italian home cooking.
Highlights
- Shop at Gubbio's local market with a native cook
- Learn to shape one traditional pasta variety by hand
- Master tiramisu from scratch in a real kitchen
- Taste your dishes with Umbrian wines and coffee
- Aperitivo of Prosecco and local snacks included
- Wear your official Cesarine apron home
- Meet other travellers who actually care about food
What to expect
Your Cesarina will meet you at the market, where you'll wander stalls picking ingredients she'd buy for her own table—she'll explain what's in season and why it matters. Back at her home, settle in with prosecco and nibbles before rolling up your sleeves. You'll spend a couple of hours making pasta (learning the traditional technique for whatever shape Gubbio claims) and assembling tiramisu. It's not rushed or performance-like; it's how she actually cooks. Once everything's done, you sit down together to eat what you've made, with local wines, proper coffee, and the satisfied feeling of having actually fed yourself.
Good to know
The class runs five hours total. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on. Public transport reaches the area if you're not driving. The group stays small—usually under eight people—so book ahead. Cesarina provides an apron as a take-home souvenir.
