How much do food and drink tours in Matera cost?

Prices vary by format and duration. Short tastings, such as a one-hour food and wine tasting in the Sassi caves or a truffle tasting menu, sit at the more accessible end. Longer hands-on cooking classes and countryside experiences, including pasta classes in ancient wine cellars, are priced higher because they include ingredients, a host and often.

About Matera

Matera's food and wine scene is inseparable from its setting: ancient cave dwellings carved into limestone, family kitchens, and cellars that have held wine for centuries. You can roll pasta by hand in an old wine cellar during the Matera: Farmer's Pasta Class in an Ancient Wine Cellar in the Sassi, or taste mozzarella straight from a master cheesemaker at the Matera: Mozzarella and Cheese Tasting with a Master Cheesemaker. These are small, hands-on experiences rooted in Lucanian ingredients rather than staged demonstrations.

Frequently asked questions

Matera's Sassi are cave dwellings and rock-hewn cellars, so many tastings and cooking classes happen underground in spaces that were once homes or wine stores. The food is Lucanian: handmade pasta, pecorino and other local cheeses, cured meats, truffles and Aglianico wines.
