Overview

Prepare yourself for an authentic and extraordinary journey through Italian culture & cuisine! Immerse yourself in the life of Como and learn about the history, culture and food of this enchanting town at the Western side of the lake.

Join our small group of food lovers and follow your foodie guide to bakeries, wine shops, cafés and restaurants, and taste local fare along with wines from distinctive cellars. You will visit a local market and receive personalised attention while mixing with the community to learn and practise some basic Italian conversation to make new friends in Italy.

Continue your journey to some hidden quarters which you may otherwise have missed and be treated to typical “spuntini salati” all washed down with glasses of Italian wine.

After all this walking, we'll have one final stop: a well-deserved relaxing lunch at a stunning XIX century villa in Brunate with magnificent views over the lake and mountains. We will take the funicular for a memorable experience.
