Varenna Walking Tour and Cooking Class
Overview
Prepare yourself for an authentic and extraordinary journey through Italian culture & cuisine! Travellers come from far and wide to explore Lake Como. Meet your tour guide in Varenna and learn about the history, culture and food of this enchanting hamlet. Walk along the lake and take photos of the elegant XIX century villas surrounded by enchanting mountains. Visit Piazza San Giorgio with its beautiful Church and follow your guide through picturesque stone alleys to meet your chef.
Get ready for the second part of your adventure. Make Memories to last a Lifetime on our “Cooking Masterclass experience". Break the ice and sit together around a large table. Inhibitions fall away when engaged in chopping or rolling pasta dough – a great way to get conversation flowing. Learn to make an appetizer, two pasta shapes and a delicious dessert. Our local chef will guide you through every step and teach you new cooking techniques for a memorable experience.
