Lezione di Pesto Genovese con Mortaio, Degustazione Pasta e Vino Locale
Descrizione
Questa esperienza offre un autentico tuffo profondo nella tradizione culinaria di Genova, a pochi passi dalla casa natale di Cristoforo Colombo. Imparerete a preparare il vero pesto genovese utilizzando un tradizionale mortaio di marmo e pestello di legno, proprio come hanno fatto per secoli i locali. Situato nella nostra piccola bottega artigianale “enogastronomica” nel cuore del centro storico, l’esperienza è pratica, autentica e piena di sapore. Assaggerete ingredienti locali di alta qualità e gusterete il vostro pesto artigianale servito con pasta di trofie, abbinato a una degustazione guidata di vini liguri. Ciò che rende questa esperienza davvero speciale è il nostro coinvolgimento familiare: la classe è guidata da noi insieme a Gaia, nostra figlia, che è stata la più giovane finalista al Campionato Mondiale di Pesto di Genova (marzo 2026). Questo non è solo un corso di cucina, ma un vero e proprio legame con la cultura ligure, le tradizioni e l’ospitalità familiare.

Outstanding experience. A warm welcome to our family including 2 children aged 11 and 12. We all very much enjoyed making pesto as well as learning about local culture. Eating our creation with local wine finished off a perfect. Grazie mille!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure welcoming your family, and we are especially happy that the children enjoyed making pesto with us. Sharing not only the recipe, but also a little of our local culture and traditions, is exactly what we hope our guests take home from the experience. And of course, enjoying your freshly made pesto with a glass of Ligurian wine is the perfect ending! Grazie mille and we hope to welcome you back to Genoa one day!
We really enjoyed our pesto workshop, and we learned so much about Ligurian cuisine, wine and the area. We also ended up buying several products from local producers in the shop. Magnificent! Mille grazie!
Thank you so much, Daniel! We are delighted that you enjoyed the pesto workshop and learning more about Ligurian cuisine, wine and our beautiful region. It also makes us especially happy that you discovered and chose several products from our local producers. Supporting and sharing the authentic flavours of Liguria is at the heart of everything we do. Magnificent guests too — mille grazie!
Barbara was an amazing teacher, told us all the nuances of how and why the recipe is made. Our pesto was the best we’ve ever had. And her shop has so much to offer, from local wines, walnut pesto, guanciale, to mushroom extracts…all local. The experience is a must and I will be making homemade pesto from now on…. With the mortar and pestle we bought from her as well. She even indulged me by speaking with me in Italian, as I am still learning. Grazie Mille, Barbara.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️ It was a real pleasure welcoming you to our shop and sharing the traditions behind authentic Genovese pesto. We're especially happy that you enjoyed our local products and that you took a little piece of Liguria home with you. Thank you also for practicing your Italian with us—it made the experience even more special! We hope to see you again soon in Genoa. Grazie mille! 🌿🍷

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the experience and that you'll now be able to prepare authentic Genoese pesto at home. It was a pleasure meeting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Genoa in the future for more Ligurian food and wine experiences. Best wishes, Barbara & BioTigullio5Terre
The team at Bio Tigullio5terre is amazing. With the pesto lesson, they taught us in a simple, informative, and calm manner how to prepare an excellent Genovese pesto. The tasting of pesto paired with chestnut pasta and local wines was delicious👍.

First of all, Barbara was completely amazing! She was so welcoming and her shop left me in awe! I love that the items in her shop for sale were from locals. The class was something my husband and I will never forget! I can’t wait to make pesto for my family here in the states!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means a lot to us that you felt welcomed and inspired during the experience. We love sharing our passion for Ligurian products and traditions, and knowing that you’ll recreate pesto back home in the States is the greatest compliment we could receive 😊 We hope every time you make it, it brings you back to Genoa and to this special moment with us. A big thank you also from Barbara – she’ll be so happy to read your review! We really hope to welcome you again one day 🍃
Personal hands-on class by a friendly and warm host. Takes place in a charming shop that focuses on Ligurian products. Excellent class for all levels. Your work pays off with a delicious lunch made with your pesto and local wine. If you like pesto and have never made it Genovese style (with a mortar and pestle), then this is for you!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy you enjoyed the hands-on experience and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of our small shop. Our goal is exactly this: to make everyone feel comfortable, learn something authentic, and enjoy simple but genuine Ligurian flavors together. And yes… tasting your own pesto at the end is always the best part 😄🍝 We hope to see you again in Genoa for another experience!
This was an incredible experience !! Barbara is a passionate instructor who is the perfect representation of a generous and happy Italian. She shares her passion through jokes and light discussions. Don’t forget the homemade pesto which was just fabulous and yummy. #Bestpesto I recommend this course at 100%
Thank you so much for your amazing words! Barbara will be very happy to read this 😊 We love sharing our passion through simple moments, good food and a bit of fun — so we’re really glad you felt it. And yes… homemade pesto always makes everything better! 😄 Hope to see you again in Genoa!
