Genoa Walnut Sauce Experience with Mortar and Wine Tasting

Genoa & Portofino· Harbour · rivieraEnglish, Italian

Step into the heart of Genoa and discover one of Liguria’s most beloved recipes: salsa di noci (walnut sauce). In our cozy food boutique, just steps from Christopher Columbus’ House, you’ll prepare this creamy sauce the traditional way — with mortar and pestle. Guided by a local host, you’ll blend walnuts, bread, garlic, and cheese into a velvety paste, then enjoy it served over pasta with a glass of fine Ligurian wine. To make the memory last, you’ll also receive a Certificate of Participation. A hands-on culinary experience that combines tradition, taste, and the warm atmosphere of Genoa’s historic center.

Where this sits in Genoa & Portofino

Genoa & Portofino is about 12 min by road from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. A working port with a tangled old town and better food than its reputation, and the Riviera villages start immediately east. Portofino for the look of it; Genoa for actually staying.
