Land Adventures & Culinary Tours at Modena Cooking Class

The Cooking Course for tourists is an unforgettable experience for those who come to visit the wonders of our city, having the opportunity to cook and eat an authentic traditional Modena meal.

The courses are specially designed for those who want to visit Modena and, despite having limited time, still want to savor all its aspects.

The courses are totally practical, interactive and will allow everyone to create and enjoy their own plate of fresh pasta. The cooking classes of Modena Food Lab work because a lot of space is given to the practice: the chef shows the steps to follow and the trainees replicate, individually, in their own workstation, the dishes on the menu. What does it mean? That our cooking classes are truly a unique experience in which yes, you have fun and relax, but you really have the satisfaction of cooking like an Italian!
