Italian Cooking Class

Italian Cooking Class

Code: ALD121
  1. Valid for 12 months
  2. Free exchange

Cooking Italian in Melbourne is so easy - you just gotta learn how! Set in a 100 year old property, the atmosphere is perfect for absorbing the fascinating concepts. These first-generation Italians want to teach you how to utilise great Yarra Valley produce - it's Mediterranean for the modern world!

Cooking is as much an art as a science - so don't try to learn from a book! These Italians will show you how enjoyable cooking can really be, not through strict instruction but through sharing knowledge and enjoying your time together!

You'll prepare a three-course Italian meal (served with a glass of Yarra Valley wine) and then sit and enjoy it with your new friends in the class. We use fresh, seasonal produce sourced from the Yarra Valley, and we'll provide you with all the recipes so you won't have any trouble harnessing your new skills at home! Sit back with an Italian espresso coffee afterwards, and reflect on a job well done!

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

Venue:

Located at the entrance of the picturesque Yarra Valley, 50 minutes drive east of Melbourne.

Session Length

This experience is 4 hours - so you'll learn tonnes! These banquet classes are run on Saturdays 10.30-2.30, but private lessons are available at other times if you like!

    I thought the Cooking School, including our very experienced leaders for the day, Hilda, Laurie and Sharon were just wonderful. They were very natural facilitators, really passionate about their heritage and good Italian food. I not only had lots of fun, I really did learn some great new skills. Thanks so much!

    Very well organised. Had a fabulous time. Never made pasta dough before so it was a great first for me. I did have trouble redeeming my gift voucher on the internet and had to end up ringing but apart from that it was a great experience.

    Hilda who ran the class was fantastic. You could tell she genuinely wanted to impart her knowledge of cooking on the participants in her class. The people assisting her in the class were just lovely, very friendly and helpful. My friend who also attended the class has some dietary restrictions, which unfortunately we had completely neglected to advise the organisers beforehand. However, despite not having any prior notice Hilda made a special meal for my friend. I was also particularly impressed...

    I thought the day was fantastic and well worth it, the only suggestion I would have for Hilda and the team, would be to have some one from the winery match the wines with the three course. I think this would have added real value to the day.
