Lecce is famous for its baroque architecture and authentic cuisine. With this cooking class in the heart of the city’s old town, experience the best of both. Meet your hosts at an “osteria” set on one of the most charming lanes in the historic center and discover the secrets to rolling and shaping fresh “orecchiette” pasta, a traditional specialty from Puglia. Then relax over a guided wine tasting paired with regional delicacies.

The sea caves around Polignano a Mare have extraordinary history, from a secret cinema to a sea bathing establishment. Discover them in comfort when you book this stylish cruise, which includes a swim stop and a simple Italian “aperitivo”: a glass of prosecco and some crackers. Capture magical photos of cliffs, islets, and more as you sail. Upgrade to include round-trip transfers from your Polignano a Mare address.

Immerse yourself in a hands-on cooking class in Lecce. Learn to make orecchiette and maccheroni al ferretto, enjoy fresh sauces, local wines, and traditional Salento specialties in a cozy family setting. The small-group lesson of no more than seven people means you'll get plenty of attention from your teacher, plus, you'll leave with recipes to take home with you.

Experience an authentic hands-on Italian cooking class in Bari during this small-group experience. Learn how to make pasta from start to finish using the proper ingredients and techniques.

Lecce is best known for its sumptuous baroque architecture, but the city has an equally rich cuisine worth exploring. Discover both its cultural treasures and gastronomic delights with this tour that combines a guided walk past the Basilica of Santa Croce, the cathedral, and other highlights of the historic center with stops to sample traditional specialties like savory “rustico” and “frisella” pastries, and the sweet custard-filled “pasticciotto”.
