How to choose
The pasta and tiramisù cooking class with fine wine is the most reviewed food experience in Verona by far, and very cheap. On foot, the food and wine tour with Amarone tasting is the best-rated walk, and the gourmet food tour with dinner, wine and gelato turns into dinner. Short on time, take the one-and-a-half-hour food tour with four tastings.
Formats: food-and-wine walking tours with a full meal across four or five stops; sunset food tours ending with gelato; pasta and tiramisù classes near the Arena; chef-led classes with gelato; wine tastings on a terrace above the city.
What you will taste: risotto all’Amarone, bigoli with duck ragù, pastissada de caval, Monte Veronese cheese, soppressa, tortellini di Valeggio, pandoro at Christmas, and Valpolicella, Ripasso and Soave.
Price and time: 50 to 100 dollars for a three-hour food tour or class.

Food tours
Verona’s centre is compact and its food tours are meal-length walks: a cheese and soppressa board at a wine bar, a plate of bigoli or risotto all’Amarone at an osteria, the horse or donkey stew for the curious, gelato, and Valpolicella at every stop, with Piazza delle Erbe, the Arena and Juliet’s balcony passed on the way. The funicular versions end above the city at Castel San Pietro. Three hours, and dinner is done.
Cooking classes
The city’s pasta and tiramisù class is one of the most-reviewed in Italy: egg pasta by hand, a sauce, tiramisù and wine near the Arena, at a price under most Venice classes. Chef-led versions add gelato; home classes cook the Veronese repertoire.
Wine
Verona is the base for Valpolicella and Soave, both under half an hour away, and the in-town tastings on the terraces above the Adige are a fine alternative to a day in the hills; see Valpolicella and Amarone wine tours.
