Your Chef will share his knowledge of local products, traditions and culinary techniques, helping you select the finest seasonal ingredients for the experience ahead.

A journey led by two essential senses: Sight and Smell.

ACT II — HEARING & TOUCH

Create your own Bolognese masterpiece

Following your market experience, you will continue to an exclusive private setting in the heart of Bologna, where your Chef will reveal the secrets behind some of the region’s most iconic recipes.

Wearing your apron, you will take part in a private hands-on cooking class, learning how to work with the fresh ingredients selected during the morning.
