Trento’s cooking classes connect visitors with authentic northern Italian cuisine in intimate settings. The standout experiences include small-group pasta workshops, where you’ll master tiramisu and fresh pasta techniques alongside locals. We particularly like the market-to-kitchen tours – they start with ingredient shopping and end with you cooking a complete meal. The home-cooking sessions with Cesarine (local cooking experts) are especially memorable, offering genuine hospitality and traditional recipes passed down through generations.
For a truly local experience, book a private class with a Trentino home chef who’ll share family secrets while teaching you regional specialties. Most classes include flexible cancellation and last 3-4 hours.
