But just an hour or so to the west, at the foot of Euganean hills, lies the Venetian wine-growing area and your home for this unique countryside cooking vacation. The natural beauties of the land, its fertile fields and abundant harvests, and charming and unassuming people make your agrarian Veneto culinary holiday an exquisitely inviting and relaxing experience.

The classes are small enough to accommodate cooks of all levels and are ideal for small groups of family and friends. An excursion is set up with a visit to a winery in the Colli Euganei wine region.
