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.

Don't lose the opportunity to become a "pizzaiolo" (pizza-maker) and a great tiramisu maker! Enter a local home, connect with an expert home cook and discover how Italian mamma and nonnas used to prepare awesome pizza at home.

Discover the real taste of Italy in a warm and authentic Italian home. Forget the tourist restaurants for a moment and join me for a hands-on cooking experience where you'll learn to make fresh tagliatelle from scratch, prepare a traditional ragù, and finish with a delicious espresso tiramisu. You'll cook, laugh, share stories and, in the end, sit together around the table to enjoy everything you've made. It's not just a cooking class—it's a taste of Italian life, homemade and shared around the table. ❤️

The countryside around Lecce is thick with wineries and olive farms, but reaching these outlying estates is a challenge without a car. With this tasting, sample the best wines and olive oils from the Puglian hills right in the middle of the city. Relax at a local wine bar and sip a number of vintages while snacking on bruschetta and other olive oil-infused snacks.

What you will do will be an authentic sensory and cultural experience. Making fresh pasta by hand is a tradition deeply rooted in Salento culture and this course offers you a practical immersion in local life and customs, going beyond traditional tourist experiences. Learning will be practical and fun and the course will allow you to gain a skill that you can take home and replicate with friends and family. The course is aimed at small groups and therefore encourages direct interaction with hosts. While making the pasta with their own hands, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, hear stories and receive personalized attention; for this, a human bond will be created that enriches the experience. The course is perfect for those traveling as a couple, family or small groups, allowing an intimate and fun sharing of the culinary experience.
