Walking Tour in Lake Como with Lierna Cooking Class

About this tour

Explore Lierna's medieval heart before heading to a local's kitchen to cook pasta, sauce, and dessert from scratch on Lake Como's shores. This 5.5-hour outing pairs a 3 km countryside walk with hands-on cooking tuition in a lakeside home, finishing with the meal you've made and wine shared family-style. Learn how locals actually eat, not how restaurants plate it.

Highlights

• Wander Lierna's old quarter and castle ruins
• 3 km walk on ancient "Wayfarers' Path" through gardens
• Roll fresh egg pasta and prepare sauce with Anna
• Make seasonal dessert, then eat it together
• Unlimited wine and views across Lake Como
• Dietary requirements (vegan, gluten-free) catered for

What to expect

Start with a guide showing you round Lierna's historic village, including its castle. Then a leisurely 3 km walk takes you through countryside and flowering gardens to Anna's home overlooking the lake. Once there, she teaches you to make egg pasta properly—rolling, shaping, the lot—then a fresh sauce and a homemade pudding using what's in season. You'll spend time actually cooking rather than watching. After an hour or so of chopping, stirring, and learning her tricks, you sit down as a group to eat what you've made, with wine flowing throughout.
