Cooking Class - Alpine Gnocchetti Overlooking Lake Como

Discover regional recipes and family traditions in a cozy Cernobbio home with a local chef.

This cooking class invites you into a welcoming home kitchen in Cernobbio, a picturesque village nestled between Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Guided by a local chef, you will explore the flavors and traditions that define this corner of Lombardy while preparing cherished family recipes with ingredients sourced from the garden and nearby alpine valleys. It is an experience designed for travelers seeking an authentic connection to the region’s culture beyond typical tourist paths.

Your session begins with a glass of Prosecco sparkling wine and small local bites before moving on to craft buckwheat gnocchetti by hand, served with creamy Bitto cheese from the Lombardy Alps. You will finish with a delicate berry meringue dessert made with seasonal fruit from the garden. As you cook and dine with mountain views all around you, you will learn stories behind the dishes, gain hands-on techniques and enjoy a warm atmosphere that reflects the true heart of Lake Como’s culinary heritage.

This experience includes water, coffee and one bottle of wine for every three guests.
