Spoleto’s cooking classes offer authentic Umbrian cuisine experiences without tourist traps. Small-group market tours paired with hands-on cooking lessons stand out as the best value. Local instructors guide you through selecting seasonal ingredients before teaching time-tested family recipes. I especially love the intimate home kitchen classes – they’re genuinely personal and include excellent regional wine pairings. Most classes accommodate 4-8 participants and last about 4 hours.
Two experiences consistently earn our highest ratings: the morning market-to-table workshops and traditional pasta-making sessions in family homes. These trusted options combine great instruction with warm hospitality.
