About this tour
Spend seven hours in a quiet medieval settlement near Valle del Treja, where you'll handpick ingredients at the local market before cooking them in a traditional kitchen. A private car collects you from your accommodation and returns you at day's end. This isn't a performance for tourists—you're working alongside locals in a village that's largely escaped modern development, learning how people here have eaten for centuries.
Highlights
- Select your own produce at the village market
- Cook in an authentic medieval-era house kitchen
- Explore Valle del Treja's quiet hilltop settlement
- Private transport included from your base
- Seven-hour immersion, no rushing
What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven to a small village where the rhythm of daily life feels genuinely removed from tourist circuits. Once there, you'll wander the market to choose vegetables, herbs, and other staples—the vendor knows what's fresh and seasonal. Then you'll move into a traditional house and cook a meal using what you've gathered, learning techniques and flavour combinations that have worked here for generations. You'll eat what you've made. The pace is leisurely; there's time to chat, ask questions, and absorb how food connects to place.
Good to know
Young children are welcome; prams and specialist seats are available for infants. Physical fitness isn't a barrier—the experience suits all abilities. Alcoholic drinks aren't included in the price, nor are visits to nearby attractions. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes for the market and kitchen work.
