Levanto: Pesto-Making Class
Description
Join a small group in Levanto’s charming historic center for a hands-on pesto workshop at a local institution that’s been celebrating this famous Ligurian sauce since 1976.
You’ll start with a tasting of sparkling wine and bruschetta topped with local olive oil, then compare pesto made by modern methods before diving into the traditional process using a mortar and pestle.
This Levanto pesto-making class is both intimate and fun—you’ll crush basil leaves, mix in pine nuts, cheese, and garlic, and savor your delicious homemade pesto with white wine and regional bites like olives and bruschetta with anchovies.
