Trip to Genova, Italy with Chef Paolo Laboa
Join chef Paolo Laboa on a tour of his home region Liguria, in northwest Italy. This gorgeous coast overlooking the Ligurian Sea is where age-old cooking traditions met with passion and inspiration to create Paolo’s unique style. You will get to see first hand why Paolo loves Liguria and all it offers, as he shows his favorite places and invites you to sample all the tastiest dishes the region has to offer.
Share the best food at local hidden gems and learn the fascinating stories that lie behind these iconic dishes. If you have a love for Italian food and wine and an interest in learning more about both, you are in for an amazing vacation!
YOUR CHEF/ GUIDE:
Paolo Laboa’s love for cooking started in his mother's kitchen, where he learned the secrets of real Genovese cooking. After many achievements and adventures, including winning the World Pesto Championship, Paolo has found his new home in Portland, ME. Here he and his wife Mercedes live with their two children and run Solo Italiano, a much-loved pillar of the farm to table tradition in Portland. Paolo is very excited to share his home and passion for fresh foods and cooking with you on this special trip!
