About this activity

A journey through the Verona's flavours and Italian cusine with your local guide, either in English or Italian.

We start at a delicatessen shop to sample a selection of cured hams and cheese accompanied by vegetable patès.

As olives grow extensively in the area, we will stop by the local oil mill shop to try a bruschetta and to learn everything about it. Next stop, we will sample 3 iconic Italian chocolates and find out more on how they are made.
