Pesto class in Manarola, in the heart of Cinque Terre
Here is what's in store for you
Chef Yvonne welcomes you to teach you how traditional pesto is made.
At the start of the experience, the chef will provide you with an apron, all the necessary ingredients and also some demonstrative pictures. Once you are ready, chef Yvonne will teach you how to make the traditional pesto sauce using mortar and pestle as tradition demands. And here comes your time! You will put together the ingredients gradually in the mortar and start pounding, while the chef will tell you about the history and the origin of one of the most famous sauces in the world.
Once all the ingredients are well combined, the pesto is ready! You will then be able to taste your own homemade pesto, enjoyed with Yvonne's fresh handmade focaccia and a glass of Cinque Terre white wine. Take your time to relax and enjoy the magic of the Ligurian flavours.

Where we are and how to reach us
When you exit the tunnel of the Manarola train station, turn right and follow the main road uphill. Cross the church square, and keep going uphill. After about 50 meters you will see a white and red bar on the left that delimits the pedestrian area, where the parking lot begins. Here is the entrance of Pie de Campu, where you'll meet your sommelier and guide Yvonne.
