Very unique time in Italy
Gabriella and Fausto were wonderful hosts. She was a very knowledgeable cook and we really enjoyed the evening. The only issue is we ate too much food but left with a smile.

Best cooking lesson! Do not miss!
We loved everything about this experience! First, our host's apartment was in the most beautiful area with a terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore. The cooking experience was amazing with details given at every step as well as help because rolling that dough is really hard! LolWhat we created looked and tasted unbelievable. Most importantly , we enjoyed having dinner with our hosts and learning so much about what it's like to live in northern Italy.

This experience was amazing. Gabriella was so welcoming and catered for my dietary restrictions without issues. The whole evening was like eating and chatting with friends.

Must do in Italy
Absolutely loved our cooking tour, consisting of three couples from all over the world yet we all loved the experience of making homemade pasta and . The knowledge and ease which our chef explained things made the time go by quickly. Plus, eating such wonderful food with new friends and enjoying the lake area made this a tour we will never forget.

A very special birthday!
I was traveling with a long time friend to celebrate a milestone birthday. Gabriella and Fausto made our lunch an experience of a lifetime. Friendly, warm and welcoming. We learned how to make gnocchi and had the most delicious meal! It was capped by a custom birthday cake and song. I’m so glad we decided to book this experience! Highly recommend!

Lovely GEM!!!

Wine Tasting in Domodossola
Mykieu V, Jan 2026
Lovely GEM!!!
Arrived at this absolute hidden gem of a winery! The experience was truly lovely from the start to finish. We were greeted warmly, and the staff were incredibly informative, sharing the history of the winery along with the different types of wine they made throughout the visit.We went during the winter season, which made the experience even more special, as we were able to enjoy a more private and intimate visit without the crowds. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed allowing us to truly take our time and enjoy each tasting.From the local cheese and meats to the fresh bread, fondue, and thoughtfully prepared regional bites, everything was delicious and paired beautifully with the wines. It was a wonderful added touch that elevated the entire experience.Our host was amazing and she was knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely passionate, which made the visit even pleasant. We would absolutely come back again and highly recommend this winery to anyone looking for an authentic and cozy wine experience.

Fantastic evening with tasty Italian food
We had a great time at Gabriella’s house learning about Italian way of living and of course Italian food. Few secrets were shared (will not go further 😊) and we had a fantastic experience, easy talking and tasty food at the end. Recommend to all. Great way to learn about Italian cooking.

An incredibly nice place with the best service. They were very welcoming to both the children and us. We tasted amazing wines and heard about the story behind. The surroundings were ideal - also on a rainy day, which was our case.

Successful trip
We had a great day. First we looked at the wine cellar and then learned how to make pizza dough. Afterwards we tasted 4 wines, each with a few specialties to try. It was super delicious and we were all full. The estate is beautifully designed. A place where you feel at home. We had a great experience.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience with the most lovely hosts. We were matched with a lovely family in Lesa and they were not only amazing chefs but also such great hosts and really invited us to their home like close friends. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu and were treated with even more food and drinks. What was a bit sad that it wasn’t possible to get in contact with the hosts directly before and even though you fill in a questionnaire about location and food preferences and other info, the hosts told us not all info (e.g. that one of our friends had her birthday that day) was passed on to Them. Info that one of us was a vegetarian was well passed on though and was very well taken into account.

Amazing Dinner experience at local’s home
I highly recommend this experience with your family or couple. We got ourselves to their home and they helped us get a taxi back- definitely try to figure out your rides to:from because it’s not easy to get taxi or uber in Stressa area.The experience was so great. We were welcomed into their home kitchen and we learned to make gnocchi and zucchini flowers for appetizer. Our host spoke English very well as our Italian is just ok. We had a true Italian dining experience and enjoyed a delicious dessert with coffee and limoncello. What a treat!!Definitely book this excursion. You won’t be disappointed!!
