The overcast skies and the promise of rain create the perfect backdrop for a weekend dedicated to exploring the rich culinary traditions of this Italian gem. Begin your journey with a Pizza and Tiramisu Class in a traditional Italian home. Available on both April 26th and 27th, this hands-on experience invites you to step into the world of Italian home cooking. Under the guidance of a skilled home chef, you’ll learn the secrets of crafting the perfect pizza and tiramisu, two iconic dishes that embody the heart of Italian cuisine.

Super delicious.”

Savoring the Art of Sabering

As the afternoon rain begins to fall, find refuge in the elegant setting of Enoteca Buosi, where the Saber Making Course awaits. Scheduled for the evening of April 26th, this unique experience combines the art of sabering with the rich history of Piedmont’s sparkling wines. The course is divided into three parts, beginning with an introduction to the methods of producing bubbles, from the classic to the Martinotti method.

The highlight of the evening is the moment when you take the saber in hand and open a bottle of Alta Langa, a sparkling wine that captures the essence of the region. As the cork flies and the bubbles flow, you’ll toast to your newfound skills with a selection of Savoyard appetizers. The convivial atmosphere and the opportunity to earn a Knight Saber Certificate make this an unforgettable experience.
