Step into a historic early 20th-century palace and enter an elegant Genoese-style apartment featuring spacious salons and a fully equipped modern kitchen. Enjoy a refined atmosphere that perfectly blends tradition and comfort, creating the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable journey into Ligurian cuisine.
Begin with a welcome toast featuring a glass of Ligurian Vermentino, setting the tone for a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Then, learn the art of making authentic pesto Genovese. Using a traditional marble mortar and pestle, work with the finest ingredients: fresh Genovese DOP basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino.
Guided step by step, take part in a fun and engaging challenge to create the most flavourful and well-balanced pesto. With a bit of technique, a touch of practice, and the expert guidance of food storyteller Fabio Bongiorni, enjoy a hands-on experience that is perfect for couples, friends, or small groups.
After preparing your pesto, taste it paired with artisanal trofie pasta, the traditional match for this iconic sauce. To complete the experience, enjoy a delicious aperitivo with focaccia and a selection of typical bruschette, followed by an authentic Italian espresso to end on a perfect note.
