Spoleto Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine

About this tour

Spend three hours in Spoleto learning how locals eat, then cook like them. A walking tour takes you through medieval backstreets and into neighbourhood food shops where vendors still remember recipes their grandmothers made. You'll end up in someone's home kitchen—not a cooking school—making fresh pasta by hand and building dishes around Umbrian staples like lentils and truffles. Finish with wine and the meal you've cooked, eaten at the kitchen table where it belongs.

Highlights

• Navigate Spoleto's medieval streets with a local guide
• Browse neighbourhood markets and specialist food shops
• Handmake strangozzi pasta using traditional methods
• Learn truffle and lentil dishes from regional recipes
• Cook and eat in an authentic home kitchen
• Drink Umbrian wine paired with your own meal

What to expect

Your guide meets you in the town centre and walks you through Spoleto's older quarters, stopping at markets and food shops where you'll see what's seasonal and how locals actually shop. There's no rushing—this is about understanding where ingredients come from. After an hour, you head to a home kitchen where you'll tie an apron on and start cooking. Expect flour on your hands, someone showing you how pasta dough should feel, and the smell of a proper meal building. You're not performing for an audience; you're learning by doing alongside someone who cooks this way daily. Once everything's ready, you sit down to eat what you've made, with local wine poured, conversation happening naturally.
