One of the most memorable experiences in our lives - Was a highlight in our vacation. She was so welcoming and treated us like family. Regardless of where home is, drinking wine and cooking and sharing stories makes us feel like it’s a small world after all. Highly recommended.

Must do cooking class! - What an amazing evening!!!! We were welcomed into the host’s home as if it were our own. They were knowledgeable and funny and the conversation was a free flowing as the wine and limoncello. And of course there was the food which was so fun to prepare and delicious to eat. Do yourself a favour when you’re in Como and book this tour! One small snag was that the address was not emailed until 2 days before and the email went to my junk mail so we had a hard time figuring out where to go but our host answered our call right away and helped us get there quickly

Highly recommend - Great instructors, very accomodating, they even picked us up and dropped us back off at the train station. We loved hearing about the history and appreciated their teaching skills showing us the true Italian ways of making pasta. Needless to say, all the food was beautiful. Definitely recommend.

A highlight of Como - Our family was so sincerely and warmly welcomed into Anna’s home in Como! The food that she taught us how to prepare was delicious and we left with many tips on how to recreate such magic when at home. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend to anyone traveling to the area!
