{"title":"Italian Cuisine Classes","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eItalian food is the most loved cuisine in the world - and also one of the most misunderstood outside Italy. A proper Italian cooking class cuts through every shortcut and substitution, and shows what the food actually is: regional, seasonal, ingredient-obsessed, and endlessly more interesting than what most people make at home. At Gift Come True, we offer Italian cuisine cooking class vouchers in Sofia with chefs who know the real thing. Cook authentic traditional dishes from the Veneto region with Italian chef Michele Bellotto - homemade gnocchi, pasta al ragù, lasagna - the way his family has been making them for generations. Join Chef Nikolay Nemigenchev for a deep dive into Emilia Romagna, Italy's most celebrated food region. Explore Italian patisserie at METRO Academy with Chef Milen Zlatev. Or experience Italy through the plate with a five-course tasting menu and wine pairing at La Bottega. Whichever format you choose - this is Italian food that tastes like Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wine-tasting-la-bottega-restaurant","title":"Indulgent Wine Tasting and a five course meal for two at La Bottega Restaurant","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eЕven the most passionate wine-lovers have a thing or two to learn!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpoil yourself and someone you care about with an unforgettable experience for the senses.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExperience a myriad of flavors, indulge in fine Italian wines, and weave your way through fairytale vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFive-step seasonal wine tasting from five Italian wine regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSommelier who will explain to you details around each wine and its pairing with food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5-course tasting meal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMenu: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSparkling Wine: Prosecco from the Ana Spinato cellar, Veneto region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with: Bruschetta with sourdough bread from Komat bakery with tomatoes, Taggiasca olives and basil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Wine: Pinot Grigio variety, Antonuti Cellar, Friuli region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with: Caprese salad - tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and homemade basil pesto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosé wine from the region of Sicily, Colomba Bianca cellar, Nerello Mascalese variety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with: Parmigiana – A classic Italian dish with eggplant, mozzarella, tomatoes and parmesan cheese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Wine: Negroamaro variety from the Puglia region, Scola Sarmenti winery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with: A seasonal meat dish.
