About This Tour
Step into a real Italian home near the Adriatic Sea and cook traditional Abruzzo dishes alongside three generations of a local family - son, mother, and Nonna - together with an American co-host. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon or an evening in an intimate setting with homemade pasta, regional recipes, wine, and warm conversations. It feels more like being invited to dinner than attending a cooking class.
