Pesto class with chef in Manarola

This is a great tour if you'd like to learn to make pesto in Manarola. The place is located in the high part of the village, off the beaten path, close to the parking area. Yvonne is a chef, so besides sharing the secrets of pesto with you, she can also tell you what else to taste during your stay in the Cinque Terre.

Yvonne will tell you about the history of pesto, show you the ingredients and teach you to make pesto in a mortar, the traditional way. Once your pesto is ready, you can taste it on some delicious focaccia, hand made by the chef, together with a glass of Cinque Terre wine.

Available every day from April 1 to September 30, except Mondays.
Meeting time: 11:00AM.
Duration: 1 hour.

Price: 63 EUR/person. For children under 11 it's free.
Minimum 1, maximum 30 participants.
In English or Italian.

Price includes: pesto class with mortar, pesto tasting on focaccia and a glass of Cinque Terre wine.

Please note that a private pesto class is available in Riomaggiore. It takes place in an apartment, so it's a really authentic experience. This program is only on request, so for availability and prices please send me an e-mail.
