Hands-on gelato making with a local chef. €50-80/person, 2 hours, and you eat everything you make.
Plan your Italy trip →Learn the base (milk, cream, sugar, stabilizers), the balance (fat vs sugar vs air), and how to create 2-3 flavors. Most classes include: one classic (stracciatella, pistachio, or fior di latte), one fruit (lemon sorbetto, strawberry), and one creative choice. You churn, taste, and take your gelato home (or eat it immediately, which is the right choice). Classes are in small labs or cooking schools, typically in the centro storico.
Look for classes run by actual gelato artisans, not tour companies. Some gelaterie (Fatamorgana, Come il Latte) offer occasional classes. Airbnb Experiences has options from €50. Avoid mass-tourism classes with 20+ people — you want hands-on time with the machine, not a lecture.
