1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)

Do you like Pesto? This is the right class for you to learn how to make it from scratch according to the traditional technique and to the recipe of my grandmother.

The experience takes place in my XVI century private home in Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre) located in the village center where my dog Ettore and I will welcome you with a glass of prosecco.
After few steps you can appreciate the stunning view of the village and the sea from the roof terrace on the 3rd floor of the building.
The characteristic colored tower-houses are built following the steep orography of the hill and give a fantastic glance above all from the sea.
