In the charming village of Vernazza, immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Cinque Terre with a hands-on pesto and pasta class. Craft your own "mandilli"—a delicate fresh egg pasta—using simple ingredients like flour, egg, and water. While your dough rests, you'll create authentic pesto from basil, pine nuts, and garlic, pounding it to perfection in a traditional mortar. After boiling your pasta, enjoy it paired with the fresh pesto right from the mortar. Complete your meal with a glass of local white wine or a soft drink for the kids, and savor a refreshing Limoncino on the rocks to top off this delightful Italian experience.
