Experience Details

If Lake Maggiore is one of Italy’s hidden gems, the rolling hills behind Stresa offer some of its most breathtaking views. In this exclusive experience, a private driver will meet you in Stresa and accompany you to a charming location nestled in the hills. Here, a local chef will welcome you with a glass of wine or a refreshing aperitif, setting the tone for a relaxed and convivial experience. Step into a fully equipped kitchen and immerse yourself in the art of Italian cooking: you will learn how to prepare two traditional pasta dishes inspired by the flavors of the lake, followed by a delicious dessert. Guided step-by-step, you will enjoy the hands-on experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere. After the lesson, it’s time to savor the fruits of your labor: sit down for a leisurely lunch or dinner paired with a curated selection of local wines, making the most of the stunning views and authentic flavors.

At the end of this unforgettable culinary journey, return transfer to Stresa.
