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.

Finally, enjoy the orecchiette you made, cooked with classic tomato sauce, together with local food, wine, seasonal dessert, homemade liqueur, and coffee.
