Highly recommended! - Such a delightful experience enticing all senses of the mind, body and soul. The aromas, flavors and vino all complimenting the other! The beautiful owner educated us all on the variety of pesto products, serving each on pasta or bread and wines of the region during the class as well. Would highly recommend this to all!

Amazing pesto experience! - This was super fun! The snacks and wine was great while we learned how to make traditional pesto, then we threw on the aprons to do it ourselves! The guide was informative, helpful, and fun! An awesome experience in the amazing town of Levanto!

Pesto Course in Levanto - I've tried to make pesto in my kitchen and it never was quite right. I took the opportunity to sign up for Giorgia's class and it was worth it. First, with a mortar and pestle you can make individual portions of pesto, versus using a food processor. Second, Giorgia stressed the importance of high quality ingredients if you want a really good result. Finally, Giorgia meticulously explained the techniques to use, and very importantly, the sequence of those techniques, that will produce a perfect pesto. There were five of us in class and we each made our own pesto, following her instructions, and all the batches came out great. Yours will come out great, too, if you attend Giorgia's class!

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.

Pesto in Levanto - When I book this a month ago on the website, originally, it said focaccia and wine for lunch, which did not happen. We had a few pieces of bread with pesto and a very small slice of cake at the end of the course. It wasn’t very friendly atmosphere. I found the lady teaching Was unfriendly and at times curt.
With that being said, please visit their store because it does have some amazing product that I enjoyed
