This experience is one not to be missed. Every bit of it was was just FANTASTIC ! it is a must.. We had so much fun and got to learn how to make PESTO. The host and the staff could not do enough for us and the only disappointing bit was it finished..

Beautiful & authentic !

This was an absolutely amazing authentic experience !! We are so happy we booked this. The pesto was delicious & you receive the recipe at the end. The host & chef is so gracious & kind. She grows all her own ingredients that we used to make the pesto. I made it once when we arrived back to the states, but have since misplaced the recipe, which makes me so sad. Although simple I cannot recall exactly how it was made & the amounts. We highly recommend doing this wonderful authentic pesto making class!!

Worth every penny!

What an amazing experience, set in a beautiful Italian kitchen with a very knowledgeable and charming host. Made us all feel very welcome, and the pesto we each made with her home made focaccia was the best I've ever had. Thoroughly recommend this trip.
