Discover Friuli-Venezia Giulia
discoverfriuli.com
Join us for a memorable culinary journey in Friuli-Venezia Giulia !

Our hands-on cooking vacations in some of Friuli's most enchanting settings are indeed a memorable learning experience about the foods and wines of a region with an exquisite traditional cuisine and top-class wines.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is home to the prized San Daniele prosciutto and the tasty frico, which are often served as antipasto. Gnocchi and risotto are popular first courses, together with bean and barley soups and jota, a very typical soup of Austrian origin. As second course you can enjoy excellent seafood from the Adriatic coast and a great variety of genuine meats and game from the countryside, most often accompanied by polenta and fresh produce.

Desserts include different types of strudels and gubana, an exquisite cake with a filling of dry fruit and grappa. The taste of these foods is exalted by a proper pairing with wine, the pride of the region, which reaches world-class level in eight DOC areas.

Participants will learn how to prepare all these specialties and many other Italian recipes! Classes, suitable for all levels - from beginners to professionals - are limited to small groups (max. 10 participants) in order to guarantee our guests a personalized service, a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere and give them the possibility to customize their vacation as much as possible.

Besides cooking classes followed by lunch or dinner paired with the proper wines, the culinary programs also includes day trips to wineries, cheese makers, prosciutto factories, private tastings, as well as cultural excursions to the many historical and delightful sites in this scenic corner of Italy and, why not, the nearby countries of Austria, Slovenia and Croatia!

Basque cuisine in and around San Sebastian is considered to be the best food in Spain. It is almost impossible not to get a good meal in this region. In fact San Sebastian boasts more Michelin star restaurants per square meter than any other capital in Spain.

With plenty of raw materials to work with (fresh seafood, locally grown produce, and meat and game), Basque chefs have taken traditional recipes and built upon them, creating a world-class cuisine. From the sea come dishes like pil-pil, a delicate green sauce used in making cod. From the garden, there are beans and peppers, which are used to create menestra, a mixed vegetable dish, or pisto, a type of ratatouille, made of tomatoes, marrow and peppers. Complimenting the dishes are some of the best wines in the world--Rioja and Alavesa.

You are invited to join one of Basque cuisine's founding fathers for a week of culinary discovery. Chef Luis Irizar is the winner of numerous awards and the author of several cookbooks. He has dedicated himself to the vocation of teaching both amateurs and professionals alike at his cooking school in San Sebastian. You'll enjoy hands-on cooking lessons with Chef Irizar, along with excursions to coastal villages, a visit to the new Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and meals in Michelin star restaurants.
