Overview

As we take in the stunning view of the sea from the vineyard, you'll begin the class by learning the fascinating history of pesto from Spezia. Cesarina will explain the traditional system of using the best basil plants and carefully selecting high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Then, you'll learn the two methods of preparing pesto: using a mortar and pestle or an electric blender and you'll recieve tips on how to properly store the pesto to keep it fresh for as long as possible. After you've made pesto, you'll package it up to take home and enjoy. You can savor the fruits of your labor either when you return home or on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. Enjoy an express pesto cooking class including 1 glass of local Possa winery Liguria's and water.

Meeting points

From the meeting point, you'll need to walk 200m uphill to Cesarina's house. Descend the hill's terraced steps, turn right at the sign for "I Foresti" Farm, and follow the path to Cesarina's house.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Unforgettable experience

Published on Jun, 2023

We had the very best time with Barbara and Stefano! The views were absolutely worth the walk out of the city center to get to the winery in the hillside. Everything about this experience felt very hospitable and welcoming. We will never forget our time here.
