We enjoyed the pesto making and the food and wine pairings. Highly recommend to anyone looking to spend a couple of hours relaxing away from the Vernazza crowds during the summer time
This was a fabulous and fun experience. We would do it again
We had a great time learning all about cheese, wines and how to make pesto. I am looking forward to making authentic pesto when we get back home.
We wanted to do an experience in Cinque Terre & found this in Vernazza. If you love Italian food, both cooking & eating, then I recommend this. Its an excellent lesson, fun & informative. The wines are great also, along with the cheese & focaccia at the end to taste the pesto you just made.
We had a great time learning how to make pesto and sampling local Cinque Terre wines. Highly recommend.
A small intimate setting for this class was so perfect! Great food and wine, we loved this experience!
Simple but very informative. Irena is a lovely host and described everything very clearly. We learnt new tips for our pesto making in a friendly atmosphere.
Vernazza is such a quaint town. Cute shops. Going to the tasting/pesto making class at the end of the road is the perfect end to the visit. The wines paired well with the pesto. Learning how to make the pesto makes you truly appreciate what goes into having excellent pesto. The instructions were easy to understand and it was a fun afternoon with new friends and family.
Very informational.. No pressure and relaxing. Learned a lot. Pesto. cheeses and wine were very good.
This was a great family friendly experience, hands on and delicious! Wine pairings were great and limonata for the kids.
