3.Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 212 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $114

Join a guide such as Kasia, Alicja, or Agata at a Krakow farmers’ market, shop for ingredients, then travel to a local home for hands-on pierogi making. Your small group of up to six prepares and eats the meal with Polish snacks, beer, dessert, and plenty of conversation about food and daily life.

“Wonderful experience, Agata was very sweet and helped put our food orders in the market in Polish language. Lots of smiles as we tried our best. We traveled to Agata's home and started by getting to know each other over some local beer and food we purchased at the market. Then our pierogi class began. We had step by step help as we made our pierogies and I am completely confident we will be able to do this on our own when we return home. Cannot thank Agata enough for a MOST WONDERFUL DAY!!!”
