About Matera
Matera's food scene lives inside its caves: the Sassi's rock-hewn cellars, oil mills and storerooms are where locals still knead pasta, pour Aglianico and cure salumi. For a first visit, start underground with the Matera: Farmer's Pasta Class in an Ancient Wine Cellar in the Sassi, a hands-on session rated 5.0 by past guests, or keep it short and social on the Matera Small-Group Street Food Tour with a Local Guide. Both put you at the table with people who actually cook and eat this way.

Frequently asked questions
In Matera the setting is the experience: many tastings and classes take place inside the Sassi's ancient cave dwellings, wine cellars and oil mills rather than in ordinary restaurants. You eat local pecorino, pane di Matera, cruschi peppers and Basilicata wines while sitting in rooms carved from the rock.
