About this tour
Spend four hours in Spoleto exploring a neighbourhood market alongside your host, then cook and eat a three-course meal in her home. You'll learn which vegetables are in season, how she stocks her pantry, and taste dishes from her family recipes. The experience sits around her table with other food-minded travellers, swapping stories over wine and coffee. It's less about instruction and more about joining in—the kind of afternoon Italians actually live.

What to expect
Your host will meet you at an agreed point near the market. You'll walk through stalls together, chatting about what's good that day and why she chooses what she does. Back at her place, you'll see how her kitchen works and watch (or help) as she prepares lunch or dinner. The meal arrives in stages—you eat, drink, talk. Expect genuine conversation rather than performance. By the end, you'll know how she cooks and why, and probably have swapped phone numbers with someone at the table.
Good to know
Public transport runs nearby if you need it. The experience suits any fitness level. Arrive hungry. Drinks are included; the meal itself is the point, not a cooking lesson.
