Experience Details

Guided by a professional chef, you'll discover the secrets behind real gelato: from selecting quality ingredients to mixing, churning, and freezing. You'll explore seasonal flavors and classic pairings, using fresh fruit, chocolate, nuts, or spices to create different flavors.


This hands-on experience is perfect for both adults and families, and suitable for curious beginners as well as food lovers. You’ll work step by step through the process, learning techniques you can easily replicate at home, even without a gelato machine!


At the end of the class, you’ll taste your own creations with the group and take home a recipe booklet including everything you prepared and more ideas to experiment with in your own kitchen.

The instructor provided clear instructions and explanations. She was very helpful in giving advice on how to prepare ice cream for diabetics.
