Our kitchen is located right in the heart of Verona’s historic center, within easy walking distance of the Arena, Piazza Bra, and most major hotels. If you’re staying outside the city, it’s also very easy to reach by public transport. We’ll send you detailed directions and a meeting point with your confirmation, but the short version is: if you’re already exploring Verona on foot, you’re probably already nearby. We recommend leaving a few minutes early so the walk itself becomes part of the experience.
It’s neither a tourist trap nor a stern cooking school — it’s something better. We work in a purpose-built, home-style kitchen designed specifically for hands-on food experiences: well-equipped, spotlessly clean, but with a warm and informal atmosphere. You won’t be lectured at; you’ll be guided through the process by passionate local chefs who love sharing what they know. Think of it as cooking at a friend’s place, if that friend happened to be an expert in Italian gelato.
During the two-hour session you’ll make 4-5 different gelato flavors and fruit sorbets, each using a slightly different technique. You’ll learn how to read ingredients, understand the difference between artisan and industrial gelato, and why the ratios matter. At the end, you take home the recipes so you can recreate some of them at home.
A few things set us apart: small groups that stay small, expert local guides (not just ‘hosts’), a dedicated kitchen space that feels authentic rather than staged, and a tasting session at the end that genuinely surprises people. We’re also a certified B Corp tour operator, which means quality and responsibility aren’t marketing words for us — they shape every decision we make. Guests regularly tell us this was the highlight of their trip to Italy, and we take that seriously.
Absolutely — this is one of our most family-friendly experiences, and it works beautifully for kids as young as 3 or 4 years old. Our chefs are experienced at adapting the class to keep little ones fully involved and safe, and making gelato is genuinely exciting for children in a way that museum visits often aren’t. Several reviewers have called it the highlight of their entire Italy trip for their kids. Multi-generational groups — grandparents included — have a wonderful time together.
You don’t need to bring anything — all ingredients, equipment and aprons are provided. Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy (though gelato-making is cleaner than pasta!). If you or any member of your group has dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance when you book so we can accommodate you. The class involves dairy, so if you’re lactose intolerant or vegan, just flag it and we’ll do our best to adapt.
We know travel doesn’t always go to plan, and we’re here to help — not to make things harder. If you think you’re going to be late, please call the number on your voucher as soon as you know, so we can hold your spot and welcome you when you arrive. We handle unexpected situations with flexibility and common sense, because our goal is for you to enjoy this experience, not to lose it over a delayed bus. Clear instructions and a direct contact number are included in every booking confirmation.
Very much so. Couples join us looking for something more memorable than another restaurant dinner, and solo travelers often find that the small-group setting is one of the best ways to meet fellow travelers from around the world. The relaxed, hands-on atmosphere breaks the ice naturally — by the time you sit down to taste your gelato, you’ll be sharing stories with people you just met. It’s a genuinely social experience, and some of the best reviews we receive are from guests who came alone and left with new friends.
