Overview

  • Live an authentic experience with a regional Italian cooking course in an original 1950s Lombard residence on Lake Maggiore. The meeting point is a choice between Arona and Angera.

    You will learn the basics of local cuisine by preparing the iconic traditional spaghetti alla chitarra and a delicious tiramisu, with variations dedicated to allergies, intolerances, or dietary needs. The evening continues with a convivial dinner to enjoy together what has been cooked in a warm and familiar atmosphere.

    The experience includes a rich tasting of local products from the farm with cold cuts, cheeses, jams, preserves, and local liqueurs, accompanied by stories about Italian culture, art, music, and folklore.

    You will also be able to interact and play with the cute pets and yard animals of the house. It is an initiative suitable for the whole family and free for children up to 10 years old.
