Rialto Market Tour & Venice One~Day Cooking Class
Join Chefs Enzo and Vittorio for a morning tour through Venice’s famous Rialto Market. This famous outdoor market is a busy scene starting at the crack of dawn as suppliers sail up from their barges, unload and set up their stands for what becomes a boisterous scene of buyers, sellers and spectators passing by, examining, negotiating between crates and stands piled sky high with goods. Fish is famous here, along with vegetables, herbs, spices, fruits and more. And this landmark marketplace has been setting up and doing this daily since 1097. They shop at their well-known merchants for the highest quality products, and conversation of the day.
Following the market, it is off to the kitchen for your hands-on cooking class. Choose from seafood, fresh pasta, meat or vegetarian on the seasonal menus. Special diet menus are available upon request. Lunch follows on the foods prepared in class. Local wine, water & dessert included. (Transportation not included)
