Pesto Perffeto! - With some crazy weather and delays (due to the storms) the hosts (Yvonne) worked so hard at finding a time to reschedule. Eventually just opening up for just my wife and I. What an amazing experience and space. It was such an honor to sit with someone from a multigenerational family in the area to learn about the history of Cinque Terre as well as the food and wine that helped shaped it! And ohhhhh the pesto and wine. We’re in heaven! My wife and I already have a pesto dinner party planned for when we return home with our friends.

Pesto Perfetto - Ivonne was fantastic and made the experience fun and memorable.
I wasn't a pesto fan before, but came away with a new found appreciation of the process and ingredients.
Highly recommend.

Great experience - This was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. Our instructor was very patient and answered all of our questions as well as provided feedback on our progress. I can’t wait to make pesto at home!

Education, interaction, wine and EATS! - Wow! What a great experience to learn about something unique to Italy, and to learn how to create it and have it with you forever! We are with our 23 year old daughter and it was a unique experience complimented with bread, cheese, wine and olive oils, from the area. Sophia, our ‘teacher’ was knowledgeable and a phenomenal teacher who taught us many unique facts about the area and foods we were eating. Definitely well worth the money and time. AND… you create with a meal using the pesto you made, and fresh gnocchi. Finishing with limoncino and white chocolate.

Excellent! - Having read the reviews, we had to try this. First plan appropriately for the distance of this location from where you are staying it was quite a walk for us, – but beautiful! Despite the very hot July day, the location was breathtaking and comfortable with umbrellas and misters along the view of the sea. The pesto making component is not understated. The directions and experience were perfect. I had truly learned how to make the perfect pesto every time! We learned the origin of the ingredients and the necessity of the exact steps to making it. The owner was very easy to understand and tells a compelling story that is fun and uplifting. You are seated next to other couples and this made for an easy way to make new friends in conversation as we make the pesto. The entire experience iscompleted by dancing and a food board with prosciutto melon, mozzarella, tomato, and focaccia. Oh yes, lots of white wine! I highly recommend this.

Authentic class with a small group - Loved learning about the history of the ingredients, knowing where the food is coming from and authentically working for it! Beautiful glass of white wine after ☺️

Educational and so good! - She who held the course was very knowledgeable and told us about pesto history then we cooked our own pesto which was incredibly good. Best pesto we ever had. Note. The course was held at the top of the village inside a small house with a room, the room itself was super nice but expected a view of the city, it did not exist. But where worth anyway for was good pesto, good focaccia and good wine.

Really fun - My daughter and I took this together. It was a lot of fun and informative. At the end you get to eat your creation with a glass of wine and foccachia. So much fun. Definitely recommend.
