Cook Pasta & Sip Wine: A Half-Day Experience in Ischia

What to Expect

Step into the heart of authentic Italian living with a unique culinary journey on the sun-drenched island of Ischia. Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty—rolling vineyards, fragrant lemon trees, and views of the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea—you’ll discover the magic of Italian cuisine through hands-on pasta making and guided wine tasting.

This immersive experience begins in a charming open-air kitchen, where a local chef will guide you through the preparation of two traditional types of fresh pasta: delicate ricotta-filled ravioli, and hand-cut tagliatelle with a rich, slow-simmered tomato sauce. You'll knead the dough, shape each piece with care, and learn age-old techniques passed down through generations.

Then, take your seat for a cozy and flavorful dinner featuring the very dishes you’ve created, served alongside a curated tasting of three exquisite Ischian wines—each one selected to complement the flavors of your handmade pasta.

A knowledgeable local sommelier will introduce you to the island’s unique volcanic wines, sharing stories of the vineyards, the grapes, and the centuries-old winemaking traditions that make Ischia’s wine culture so distinctive.

Whether you're a food enthusiast, a wine lover, or simply seeking a deeper connection with Italy’s culinary soul, this experience is more than a class—it’s a celebration of culture, flavor, and the joy of shared meals.

Roll, fill, sip, and savor: Ischia is ready to welcome you!
