Verona is a charming city located in northern Italy, known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and mouthwatering cuisine (and yes, for its links to Romeo and Juliet’s story as well).

👉 I was born and raised in Bologna, just a couple of hours from Verona, and think that Verona is seriously underrated. If you’re visiting Italy in the summer, you should skip the overcrowded destinations like Venice and head to somewhere like Verona instead!

And if you’re a food enthusiast eager to delve into the secrets of Italian gastronomy, you’re also in luck. Verona traditional dishes include gnocchi, polenta, and even horse meat stew (yes, it’s legal and delicious).

Verona offers a diverse range of cooking classes that allow you to master the art of Italian cooking while immersing yourself in the local culture.

Whether you’re a novice in the kitchen or an experienced home cook, these cooking classes will enable you to learn from skilled chefs and uncover the flavors of Verona combining education, hands-on cooking, and the opportunity to savor your creations. 

In this article, we’ll explore the 11 best cooking classes in Verona. Each offers a unique culinary adventure that will equip you with the skills to recreate Italian dishes at home. So, put on your apron, and let’s check out these culinary experiences! 

I usually use Viator and Get Your Guide to book activities around the world. I especially recommend them for their fantastic cancellation policy, which allows you to cancel most tours up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
