Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class
Enjoy unlimited fine wine and limoncello and learn to make ravioli and tagliatelle from a chef
Finding a genuine connection to local culture is difficult in a city as crowded as Venice. Instead of just watching a chef, step behind the counter of a neighborhood restaurant to learn the science of pasta and dessert. Your instructor will teach you how to make ravioli and tagliatelle from scratch using traditional Italian techniques. Then assemble an espresso-soaked tiramisu before sitting down to enjoy your handmade meal. With unlimited wine, it’s the perfect swap to typical sightseeing.
