Join a hands-on cooking experience in Polignano a Mare that goes beyond a classic fresh pasta class.

Set in the garden of a private villa near the seafront, this workshop invites you to slow down, cook with your hands and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of a local home-style setting.

Your local host will guide you through the making of orecchiette and cavatelli, two iconic shapes of Apulian pasta, while sharing stories, gestures and traditions from the region’s kitchen.

Alongside the pasta, you’ll also discover Apulian focaccia, one of the most loved flavours of Puglia’s everyday food culture. Watch how it is prepared, from the dough and tray stretching to the toppings and baking, and see why this simple, fragrant recipe is so deeply rooted in local life.

After the workshop, sit down in a convivial setting to enjoy pasta with fresh tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, warm focaccia and local wine served throughout the experience.
