Cinque Terre: Sunset Pesto Cooking Class & Wine Tasting Experience

About

Immerse yourself in the authentic flavors and breathtaking beauty of Cinque Terre with our unforgettable Sunset Pesto Cooking Class & Wine Tasting experience in Volastra. This unique culinary adventure begins with a leisurely 10-minute trek along a picturesque trail leading to our panoramic farmhouse. We kindly recommend guests wear appropriate footwear—no flip-flops or high heels—for a comfortable and enjoyable hike.

Upon arrival at our scenic venue, overlooking the sparkling Ligurian Sea, you'll dive into the heart of Ligurian tradition: the Pesto Class. Under expert guidance, you'll discover the secrets behind the world-famous pesto sauce, hand-prepared by you with fresh basil picked directly from our organic garden and ground using traditional mortar and pestle.

As the sun sets, enhancing the stunning landscape around you, savor the exquisite pairing of your freshly-made pesto with three signature wines. Each wine is thoughtfully selected to complement the authentic tastes of Liguria, offering a sensory journey that beautifully blends flavor, culture, and tradition.

Join us for this enriching, delicious, and immersive experience—a perfect blend of local gastronomy, exquisite wines, and unmatched scenery!
