Guidekin's take

Home meal from three recipes in our Pesto Classes & Wine Tastings comparison.

Trade-off: Minimum two guests; shared table.

Last checked: September 15, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

You cook in a local home in Riomaggiore, not a school kitchen: three Cinque Terre recipes at your own station, then you sit down and eat them with wine and coffee. Morning or afternoon slots, the table is shared with other guests, and the meal is what the class makes. 4.83 from 46 reviews at €179 per person for 3h.

From the guide

Immerse yourself in a small group cooking class at local's home,  learn the secrets of the most famous dishes of Cinque Terre cuisine and taste the fruit of your labour accompanied by a glass of local wine.

During the lesson the local home cook will reveal the tricks of the trade of 3 authentic Riomaggiore recipes. Have fun putting your cooking skills to the test. Patricipants will have a workstation equipped with utensils and all the ingredients to make the dishes. Then, taste everything you have prepared accompanied by a selection of red and white local wines.

This experience is held by Cesarine: Italy’s oldest network of 1000+ home cooks all over the country in more than 500 cities. They are passionate and welcoming hosts that open the doors of their own homes to curious travellers for immersive culinary experiences.
