Pasta Making Class near Brindisi with Olive Oil Tasting

The pasta making class near Brindisi takes place on a family estate among olive trees and wheat fields. You meet your host, a local farmer from a family that has farmed this land for generations, get to know each other, and are given an apron and utensils before the class begins.

For about an hour and a half you prepare your own fresh pasta, including orecchiette and other Salento shapes, following traditional recipes handed down from the host's grandmother, Nonna Antonietta. The whole experience runs around three hours.

Then comes a pause for photos in the warm light of the sunset, and the table is set. The estate's own extra virgin olive oil is tasted on crostini with appetizers, and the pasta you made arrives as the main dish, with wine, water and traditional pastries. In winter the class moves indoors, into the trullo.
