Food in Milan means saffron risotto, cotoletta alla milanese, panettone and, above all, aperitivo: an early-evening drink served with generous snacks. The experiences on this page include guided food walks along the Navigli canals and through the historic centre, tastings of local specialities, and pasta and tiramisu classes.

Before you book

Most food tours last about three hours and include enough tastings to replace a meal, so check what is included and tell the operator about allergies or dietary needs in advance. Aperitivo tours usually start around 6pm. Small-group tours fill up at weekends.
