Lake Como · CHEESE
3 reviewed
Good cheese tastings fill up fast on Como, and the best fill up first. Below are the 3 standouts, with current prices and what sets each one apart, so you can book before the calendar closes.
Taste 4 Italian wines with local cheese and charcuterie in Como’s city center, led by an English-speaking sommelier. Small group.
“We had an amazing evening with Simona and her mother cooking a fabulous dinner. Simona was so personable and made the experience one we will remember. We can’t wait to try these recipes back home!”
Como wine tasting at Enoteca Capitan Drake: choose 4 or 7 Italian wines, paired with cheese and cold cuts, guided by a sommelier.
“The selection was incredible, so many wines I was not aware of.”
Carozzi in Valsassina pairs a guided dairy visit with tasting 8 cheeses, wine, honey, and compotes plus a Lake Como audio guide.
“It’s interesting to watch the production of cheese which you can try later during the tasting. Inside the diary, the smell is quite intense, so you’d better be prepared for such “attractions”. We were in a group of Italians and foreigners, thus the guide spoke mostly in Italian while there was a very little explanation in English only, which was a bit frustrating (in my opinion it shouldn’t be even mixed). You cannot take any photos inside of production line which is a bit disappointing too.”
