Cinque Terre: Pesto cooking class with sea view in Riomaggiore
As we take in the stunning view of the sea from the vineyard, you'll begin the class by learning the fascinating history of pesto from Spezia. Cesarina will explain the traditional system of using the best basil plants and carefully selecting high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Then, you'll learn the two methods of preparing pesto: using a mortar and pestle or an electric blender and you'll recieve tips on how to properly store the pesto to keep it fresh for as long as possible. After you've made pesto, you'll package it up to take home and enjoy. You can savor the fruits of your labor either when you return home or on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. Enjoy an express pesto cooking class including 1 glass of local Possa winery Liguria's and water.

Where this sits in Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre is about 1 hr 36 min by road from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. Five fishing villages strung along a cliff, joined by footpaths and a train. Walk between them early, swim in the afternoon, and stay overnight — the middle of the day belongs to the crowds.
