Step into the heart of Italian hospitality in the stunning Southern Highlands. The Italian Cooking Experience by Stefano Marvello offers immersive, hands-on cooking classes, paddock-to-plate long lunches, and fire-cooked feasts using the freshest local ingredients. It's authentic, joyful, and delicious — perfect for food lovers, couples, groups, and corporate retreats.
Escape to the Southern Highlands and experience the soul of Italy — one plate at a time.
Led by chef Stefano Marvello, The Italian Cooking Experience invites guests to slow down, roll up their sleeves, and connect through food.
