3-Night / 4-Cooking Class Vacation
A residential cooking-class vacation with four cooking classes and accommodation.
Just an hour west of Venice, at the foot of the Euganean Hills, Tenuta Castel Venezze grows its own vegetables, fruit and grain — genuine country hospitality and the true flavors of rural Veneto, cooked together and shared over four days.
Day one: arrive after midday and settle in, then meet Chef Stefano at 4pm for your first class — traditional Italian pasta-making techniques passed down through generations of local women.
Day two: a second class on tortelli, tagliatelle and a homemade dessert, lunch with wine, then a free afternoon by the pool or exploring nearby villages.
Day three: a seasonal three-course lunch you cook yourselves, then a fourth and final class on Risotto all'Italiana with rice from the Po Delta and a classic Tiramisù — celebrated with dinner together that evening.
Depart after breakfast on day four, or extend the stay over the weekend to enjoy the Tenuta's countryside, natural pool and other on-site experiences.
