Great experience!
We had the BEST experience! We have been to cooking classes all around the world and this one was one of the best. The food and drinks were delicious, we learned a ton, and the instructors were a delight. Alberto and his Mom were fantastic hosts. I can’t think of a single thing they could do better. Ten stars out of 5 stars.
