Genoa Handmade Gnocchi and Pesto Class with Wine Tasting

This experience takes place inside a family-run Ligurian food shop, not in a standard cooking school. Prepare potato gnocchi from scratch and make authentic Genoese pesto with a marble mortar and wooden pestle. Then enjoy the food you created during a relaxed brunch, paired with 2 wines from small Ligurian producers. You will also discover the stories, ingredients, and traditions behind Genoa’s local food culture.

Begin by learning how to prepare traditional potato gnocchi from scratch. You will work the dough by hand, shape the gnocchi, and discover the techniques used to achieve the right soft texture. Next, prepare authentic Genoese pesto using a marble mortar and wooden pestle. Your instructor will guide you through the ingredients, traditional gestures, and local stories behind this iconic Ligurian recipe. Once the cooking is complete, sit down together for a relaxed brunch featuring the handmade gnocchi dressed with your freshly prepared pesto. The meal is accompanied by a tasting of two Ligurian wines selected from small local producers. The activity takes place in an intimate, family-run Ligurian food shop and combines hands-on cooking, local culture, wine, and conviviality.
