What is the best time to book food & wine activities in Liguria?

Book early, especially for popular experiences like the Genoa Small-Group Food Tour or the Riomaggiore pasta class, as they often sell out. For the best weather and fresh ingredients, consider visiting in late spring or early autumn, but these experiences run year-round.

How do I choose between the different Ligurian food & wine experiences?

Consider your interests: for a comprehensive overview, choose a walking food tour in Genoa or La Spezia; for hands-on learning, opt for a cooking class like the rooftop pesto and pasta workshop. Check ratings and reviews to match the experience level and setting you prefer.

Frequently asked questions

Ligurian cuisine is distinct for its reliance on fresh seafood, basil, olive oil, and pine nuts. Experiences often include hands-on pesto making with a mortar and pestle, tasting local wines like Vermentino and Pigato, and learning family recipes in intimate settings, from historic palaces to local homes.
