Private Ligurian Cooking Class in Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre, Italy
About This Activity
Join a Cesarine-verified host cook near La Spezia (the gateway town for Cinque Terre) for a 3-hour class focused on Ligurian cuisine. Prepare two fresh pasta shapes — typically trofie and corzetti — pair them with hand-ground basil pesto (the authentic pestle-and-mortar version) and a walnut sauce, then make Tiramisu for dessert. Your host explains the Ligurian pantry: DOP Ligurian basil, Taggiasca olives, farinata chickpea flatbread. Sit down to eat together with local Vermentino wine. Approximately €145 per person.
Seasonal note: Year-round indoor class; basil pesto freshest in summer
