The ancient Venice and its spices: Cooking Class and Market Tour




Immerse in Venice's rich history with a market tour and cooking class. Discover spices' stories, recreate dishes, and savor flavors in an ancient setting. An unforgettable culinary journey!
Experience Details
This is not just a cooking class – it’s so much more! We’ll have fun exploring the delicacies of the market and local flavors, and in my ancient home, we’ll recreate long-forgotten dishes using historic spices. Venice’s ancient richness comes to life here, with spices from all over the world such as saffron, pepper, anise, cardamom, and many others, each with its own story. Step aboard this old galleon that sails through the centuries along the spice route. We’ll cook, we’ll play, we’ll have fun, and above all, we’ll eat and drink in a way you've never experienced, all while immersing ourselves in the history and stories of Venice.
