Fresh pasta workshop, Salento wine tasting, and social dinner.
Description
What you will do will be an authentic sensory and cultural experience. Making fresh pasta by hand is a tradition deeply rooted in Salento culture and this course offers you a practical immersion in local life and customs, going beyond traditional tourist experiences. Learning will be practical and fun and the course will allow you to gain a skill that you can take home and replicate with friends and family. The course is aimed at small groups and therefore encourages direct interaction with hosts. While making the pasta with their own hands, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, hear stories and receive personalized attention; for this, a human bond will be created that enriches the experience. The course is perfect for those traveling as a couple, family or small groups, allowing an intimate and fun sharing of the culinary experience.

Fabio and Lisa met the whole group in town and transported us to their lovely home. We had a brilliant evening enjoying the activity, the food, the plentiful wine and the company. We gained lots of knowledge about the area and enjoyed meeting new people.
An Unforgettable Night in Lecce! We had the absolute best time taking a pasta-making class with Lisa and Fabio in Lecce. From start to finish, the entire evening was a wonderful experience. Lisa and Fabio are fantastic teachers. They were incredibly patient with everyone and taught us two fun new pasta techniques that we cannot wait to try at home. The class is also highly social. We loved meeting new people and making new friends around the cooking table. To make things even better, they served wonderful appetizers and delicious wine throughout the event. What truly sets Lisa and Fabio apart is their incredible hospitality. We accidentally forgot our pasta tools after the class, and they went completely out of their way to deliver them to our hotel the very next day. Everything they did went above and beyond our expectations. If you are visiting Lecce, do not miss this class! Thank you, Lisa and Fabio, for a beautiful memory. Donna, Doug & Tracy
I can't even begin to explain how wonderful this experience was. I went with my husband and 3 adult children. Lisa and Fabio were exceptional hosts. They picked us up and brought us to their home and treated us like family. We had appetizers and wonderful wine and then the instructions began. Lisa was so patient and such a great teacher. Fabio was also great with instruction and he took wonderful pictures and video's that he shared with us. We had wine with our lesson and they treated us to a wonderful desert. We all agreed it was the highlight of our week in Italy. We have been making pasta every Sunday with the entire family, 5 grandkids and 6 adults, since we returned home. This class has changed our lives in the most wonderful way. Thank you. Karen, Greg, Erin, Jess, and Adam
We had the most fabulous evening with Lisa, Fabio (and Joy). Such a warm couple who invited us into their lovely home. We felt like good friends from the start. We learnt so much about Italian traditions and the pasta making experience was amazing. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about Italian wine and pasta.
The whole experience was above and beyond wonderful- the added bonus of transportation was really nice- Lisa and Fabio are very friendly and welcome you into their home like family- it was so fun to learn how to make pasta - I felt really uncoordinated but they assured us as beginners we did ok- Lisa makes wonderful homemade appetizers and Fabio shares his knowledge about local wines he offered us to try- the pasta and sauce were amazing!! She also does a homemade Panna Cotta and homemade Limoncello- the evening was just so much fun !! I would highly recommend this as a true Lecce experience not to be missed- Lisa also sends the recipes so you can recreate at home- I hope mine are as good
words can't describe what a amazing experience this was .. to learn from an expert and wonderful teacher like Lisa to make delicious homemade pasta. Very much a unique experience!!! Along with her husband Fabio they created an atmosphere of friendship and fun!!!
5 stars isn’t enough. Fabio and Lisa were wonderful hosts, so knowledgeable, so generous and so full of joy. We made two different varieties of pasta from scratch, and ate them both with two delicious sauces. Before that some homemade appetisers, and a delicious dessert after. If you like good wine, good food, and good people then this is the cooking class for you. Pugliese food and people at its purest and best
Lisa and Fabio were absolutely fantastic! They were so warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. There was so much story telling involved which made the experience feel very special. Lisa sending the recipes for pasta and sauces after the class is such a nice touch. She also very kindly sent us recommendations for the local area. 10/10 would recommend this class to anyone in the area. ❤️
This was one of our favorite experience during our time in Italy! Lisa and Fabio were the perfect hosts and teachers. We drank wine and had delicious homemade appetizers on their patio and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them! The pasta making was a blast; and the taste-amazing! They shared the recipes so we look forward to hosting our own party when home! Thank you Lisa and Fabio! We wish you and your family the best!
Lisa and Fabio were fantastic hosts and teachers. We loved eating and learning about the appetizers Lisa prepared for us. Making the pasta was so much fun and both of them were patient with us fumbling through the steps to make the shapes correctly. A very fun time with very nice and knowledgeable hosts.
