Cinque Terre Pesto-Making Cooking Class with Wine Tasting in Manarola

Your Experience

Join a passionate local foodie in the colorful village of Manarola for a hands-on culinary experience. Step away from modern blenders and discover the traditional way to prepare Italy’s most famous green sauce. Roll up your sleeves and learn to use a classic marble mortar and wooden pestle. You will blend the freshest local ingredients—sweet basil, pine nuts, garlic, and premium olive oil—while hearing fascinating stories about Ligurian food culture. After the workshop, it's time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor! Sit down with your group and savor your freshly pounded pesto on warm, homemade focaccia. Toast to your new culinary skills with a glass of local Cinque Terre white wine, and take the authentic recipe back home with you.
