Pesto making, a must do! - This was such a fun family experience, our children really enjoy it as well and is one of their favorite activity. So much so we purchased the tools to make it again at home.
With this course you also get a little history into Levanto and our chef/teacher was very patient and gave great direction.
I highly recommend this experience.

Good pesto experience with friendly teacher - One of the owners (who gives the course) really likes to teach you how to make pesto and also how you can change the flavor to your liking. First she showed us how she does it and then we took turns into making pesto ourselves. After that we tasted all the created flavors.
We got a glass of wine during the tasting. We finished the glass faster than the others, so we got some more wine.
All with all this is a really nice pesto workshop with a friendly teacher.

The best pesto class in Cinque Terre - The pesto class was amazing, best experience yet. We were served loads of wine, glasses kept being topped up, water was offered. Really good portions of food plus a cute little limoncello and lemon cake at the end. It was also really informative and a really good class to learn how to make pesto in. Nessun Dorma has nothing on this, come here instead
