- Free cancellation
About this experience
Explore the lively Rialto Market, one of Venice’s most iconic food destinations. Wander among its stalls, discover local specialties and seasonal ingredients, and learn how fresh fish and vegetables inspire traditional Venetian cuisine. This is more than a market visit: it’s an opportunity to experience the city’s food culture through the eyes of someone who knows it best. As you explore, your chef will select fresh fish or seasonal vegetables for your cooking class, depending on availability. Then, leave the bustle of the market behind and head to the Cannaregio district, where a welcoming home kitchen awaits. Here, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking experience that goes beyond making pasta. Learn to prepare fresh handmade pasta from scratch, discover the secrets of traditional tiramisu, and create a seasonal second course. Depending on the ingredients available, this may be a fish dish, vegetable parmigiana or risotto, bringing the flavours of the market directly to your table. Once everything is ready, sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, accompanied by wine, music and friendly conversation.
