Do you love pesto? This class is the perfect opportunity to learn how to make it from scratch using the traditional technique and my grandmother’s original recipe.

The experience takes place in my private 16th‑century home in Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre), located in the heart of the village. My dog Ettore and I will welcome you with a glass of prosecco before we begin. After a few steps, you’ll reach the roof terrace on the third floor, where you can enjoy a stunning view over the village and the sea. The iconic colorful tower‑houses, built along the steep hillside, create a unique and picturesque panorama—especially when admired from above or from the water.
