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

The best time is during the mild seasons of spring (April-June) and early autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thinner. For the freshest basil, book a pesto class in summer, but be prepared for more tourists.

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

Consider what you want to learn or taste. If you're a pesto purist, opt for a dedicated pesto class. For a broader pasta-making experience, choose a class that covers multiple shapes like croxetti and gnocchi. Wine lovers might prefer a tasting at a local winery or a reserve tasting with gastronomic pairings.
