Osmiza, which means "eight" in Slovenian, is a tradition that dates back to the time of Charlemagne. Empress Maria Theresa of Austria allowed Trieste's farms to open their houses to sell the surplus of their produce. This custom was consolidated in 1784 by the decree of Joseph II of Habsburg. In an osmiza, everything is homemade: wine, eggs, ham, salami, cheese, pickles and sometimes homemade desserts. The experience takes place in rustic settings, with wooden tables and benches, surrounded by vineyards. Entering an osmiza is a plunge into the past, where you can taste the flavors of the land in a festive and convivial atmosphere.

- My thought as I rated 4 stars was that I had hoped for a bit more hands on. We did get a chance to try Giovanni’s tasks, however, briefly. Also, I had requested English and it worked out with some technology but the language barrier did play a role in the end. We did learn pasta but we’re not privy to the filling recipe or the sauce recipes. I suppose that is a technicality. All in all we are very happy that we did this experience.
- What a wonderful fun experience! Highly recommend this! Giovanni was the best teacher and host. He invites you into his home and treats you like family!
- Giovanni was a sensational host, welcomed us warmly into his home. I loved that we had to communicate across the English & Italian language. We have been travelling across Europe for 6 weeks & the spaghetti, ravioli & tiramisu he taught us to make was the best meal we have had, delivered on all promises, a must, Cheers Giovanni
- 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!
