Private Experience
Your experience
An immersion into the history of Langhe, through three typical dishes of tradition that you will prepare yourselves under my guidance with years of professional experience as a chef. In a medieval village, under the castle, in my 17th-century house overlooking the world's most famous vineyards, you will challenge yourselves with three traditional recipes. You will learn to know the primary elements, to treat them, measure them, and accompany them with love to the plate! We will start with anchovies in green sauce. Anchovies? Yes, typical in Langa, and I will tell you a curious story about this product; then we cannot miss square peppers (roasted in Nebbiolo) dipped in Bagna Cauda; a grand finale with sausages in Nebbiolo.
I'm waiting for you!

- When my wife mentioned a cooking class, I was a bit apprehensive. My kitchen experience begins and ends with washing dishes and making popcorn. That being said, our evening with Gian Paolo was one of the highlights of our trip. The drive to his village was breathtaking. Gian Paolo's home is a transformationin time. A small modest home rich in family history sets the stage for intimate conversations, story telling, humor and of course Italian cuisine. We arrived at 18:00 and after an amazing meal, much laughter and great wines, we left at midnight exchanging hugs and contact information. Do it! Have fun!
- Gian Paulo is simply an incredible human being. He is talented, warm, engaging and interesting. We never dreamed we would be there for 6 hours, but the atmosphere of his beautiful 400 year old home was so welcoming. The food was amazing and I learned a lot. He catered to our eating preferences and paired 3 bottles of wine to our 3 course meal. I would go back again!!!! And probably will!!! Thank you Gian Paulo ♥️
- Via Cesarine boekten wij een food & wine pairing with a local. De communicatie was heel soepel. De bedoeling was een bezoek aan Moscone winery met een wijnproeverij en eten gemaakt door Gian Paolo ter plekke. Door een probleem in de keuken werd het programma aangepast. Eerst bezochten wij het wijnhuis, waar we een privé rondleiding kregen van Denis. Met passie vertelde Denis over de geschiedenis van t wijnhuis, de wijnen, het productieproces, de wijngaarden en beantwoordde al onze vragen. Na de rondleiding reden wij achter Denis aan naar Serralunga d’Alba waar Gian Paolo ons verwelkomde in zijn huis. Hij liet ons de keuken met het prachtige uitzicht zien waarna we met z’n vieren plaatsnamen op het terras. Gian Paolo vertelde ons over het belang van balans tussen wijn en eten. Bij elke gang van heerlijke gerechten met regionale producten, proefden we wijn van Moscone. De gerechten waren eenvoudig en super lekker. De combinatie was geweldig. We hebben de hele avond gepraat over allerlei onderwerpen (niet alleen wijn en eten) en hadden mooie gesprekken. Het voelde alsof we met vrienden aan tafe zaten. Al met al was het een geweldige avond die we niet snel zullen vergeten. Dank je wel Denis en Gian Paolo.
- We had a wonderful evening with Gian Paolo! We loved our cooking lesson. We learned local recipes and had fun preparing them. We had a lovely meal with Gian Paolo, paired with delicious wines. It was a wonderful evening. I highly recommend the experience.
- I traveled to Italy with two of my girlfriends and we wanted a fun cooking experience that we could still gain technical skills from. 10/10, cannot more highly recommend Gian Paolo. During our time together, we made a few "simple" dishes that were exceptionally delicious, and also learned much about the Italian culture around food and cooking. Gian Paolo was very warm, but he also let us have time to just take it all in. If you're traveling in the Piemonte wine region and looking for a cooking class, work with Gian Paolo!

Gian Paolo
Cesarina from 2023Location: Serralunga d'Alba Languages: Italian, English, FrenchMine is a cuisine that originates from the Piedmontese land. The products are all local and selected (meats, vegetables, cheeses, fresh perfumes) as well as obviously the wines paired with the dishes. I try to be as linear as possible in the preparation even if the Langa cuisine sometimes requires long times and complex procedures. For me it is essential to always recognize the basic elements of a dish. I don't like oddities, the products we have here are enough and more!
