Description
Good to Know
Step into Vittoria’s cozy private villa in the Salento countryside for a hands-on orecchiette cooking class near Otranto that feels like an evening at a local home.
In a small group, learn how to prepare fresh pasta dough and shape traditional handmade orecchiette with guidance available in English, German, and Italian. While the pasta rests, relax in the garden with local wine and meet fellow travelers in a warm, possibly multilingual setting.
Dinner highlights seasonal products from small local producers and, whenever possible, ingredients from Vittoria’s own garden. Even the table has a personal touch, with unique vintage plates collected from local markets.
Finally, enjoy the orecchiette you made, cooked with classic tomato sauce, together with local food, wine, seasonal dessert, homemade liqueur, and coffee.
