About this tour
Roll up your sleeves and learn to shape pasta the way locals have for generations in Salento, Italy. This four-hour class puts you hands-on with dough, teaching techniques you'll actually use at home. You'll craft two pasta styles from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside regional wines and Salento antipasti. Transport is included, and the small-group setup means genuine conversation with your hosts—not rushed instruction.
Highlights
- Hand-roll two distinct pasta shapes from basic ingredients
- Taste locally produced Salento wines with your finished dishes
- Small groups allow direct questions and personalised guidance
- Dine on your own creations with two sauce variations
- Private transport to and from your location included
What to expect
You'll arrive at a kitchen space and begin with an aperitif of regional Salento dishes. Then the instructor demonstrates pasta-making techniques before you take over—kneading, rolling, cutting, shaping. Expect flour under your fingernails and questions answered in real time. After an hour or so of hands-on work, you'll rest whilst your pasta cooks. The meal that follows features your two pasta types with different sauces, paired with a range of local wines: crisp whites, delicate rosés, and fuller reds. Conversation and storytelling happen naturally throughout.
Good to know
Transport collects and returns you. Children under 18 and non-drinkers receive soft drinks instead of wine. Bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind getting dusted. The class suits couples, families, and small groups equally well. Public transport is nearby if you prefer independent travel.
