Small-Group Pasta & Wine Experience in Historic Matera

Tentang

Immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of southern Italy with a unique two-hour cooking class set in the heart of Matera’s UNESCO-listed historic center. Designed for intimate groups of up to ten people, this authentic experience offers the perfect balance between learning, tasting, and connecting with local food culture.

Guided by a professional local chef, you’ll learn to craft two traditional varieties of fresh pasta—Cavatelli and Orecchiette—entirely by hand, using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Once prepared, the pasta will be dressed with classic Italian sauces such as cacio e pepe or a rich tomato sauce infused with ricotta and fresh basil, highlighting the simplicity and elegance of southern Italian cuisine.

As your dishes come together, you’ll also enjoy a tasting of freshly made local appetizers, prepared on the spot to reflect the seasonal ingredients of the region. To enhance the flavors of your meal, a certified sommelier will guide you through a carefully selected wine pairing, introducing you to high-quality regional wines that perfectly complement the pasta and antipasti.

The class takes place in a charming indoor space equipped with air conditioning, offering comfort in every season. Guests with food intolerances or dietary restrictions are welcome, and personalized adaptations can be made upon request if communicated at the time of or shortly after booking.
