Your experience
Osmiza means eight in Slovenian and indicates the days that Empress Maria Theresa of Austria had allowed farms in the province of Trieste to open their houses to sell the surplus of what they produced. Its institution dates back to the time of Charlemagne, the custom took root with the decree of Joseph II of Habsburg in 1784.Everything is home-grown, and they consume directly on the farmers' farms, wine, eggs, ham, salami, cheese, pickles, sometimes home-made sweets. You will be welcomed in rustic settings, set up with simple wooden benches and tables surrounded by green vineyards. Entering an osmiza is a unique experience, a plunge into the past, where you can taste in company and in a festive air the products of the territory.

- My husband and I really enjoyed our cooking class. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu. It was amazing and Giovanni was very gracious and a good teacher .
- Giovanni and his wife welcomed us into their home and it was one of our best experiences of our trip! The food was divine with wine to pair. Unforgettable experience to say the least! Incredible!
- Giovanni and Mirabelle were gracious hosts, welcoming us into their beautiful home. The food was delicious and we learned new pasta making techniques and came away with a fantastic Tiramisù recipe. Their house was an east walk from the cruise terminal.
- We had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and triamisu. Giovanni was a wonderful host and we look forward to making homemade pasta when we get home.
- We really enjoyed our evening with a Giovanni and his wife. We are a family of 4, including one pescatarian. We were greeted with Prosecco and charcuterie. Giovanni invited my kids to help make the tiramisu. We enjoyed spaghetti carbonara and eggplant parmigiana. We were served red and white wine. The conversation was interesting, though choppy as we had to rely on Google translate for most of it. In ally, we had a lovely time.
