What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home as the afternoon light softens. After a brief introduction, you'll move into the kitchen where your host walks you through selecting and preparing each bite—think cured meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, crostini—each chosen to complement the wines you'll taste. You'll handle the prep yourself under guidance, learning why certain flavours work together and how to plate for impact. The final hour is spent tasting your spread with the wines, discussing regional traditions and how locals actually approach this social ritual.
Good to know
The workshop is private and held in a home, not a commercial kitchen. Public transport nearby makes arrival straightforward. Bring an appetite for learning as much as eating. Two hours allows time for both hands-on prep and a proper tasting session without rushing.
