When is the best time to book food & wine activities in Genoa?

To secure your preferred date and time, especially for popular experiences like the Genoa Small-Group Food Tour or rooftop cooking classes, it's best to book at least a few weeks in advance. These experiences often sell out, particularly during peak travel seasons from spring to autumn.

How do I choose between the different food & wine experiences in Genoa?

Consider your interests: if you prefer tasting a variety of local specialties while exploring the historic center, a walking food tour is ideal. If you enjoy hands-on learning, opt for a cooking class where you can make pesto and pasta. Check the duration, group size, and reviews to match your style.
