Cooking workshops take place from November 13 to 17, both during the day and under the new Sip N' Cook nighttime concept, inviting you to dive into the creative world of chefs from around the globe. Here, it’s not just about following recipes—it’s about a true immersion, learning the secrets of the masters, and feeling the energy of shared gastronomy.
