Pesto Experience
A journey of discovery of Liguria, including wine and local products
You are on vacation in Sestri Levante, in the heart of the Tigullio Gulf – very close to the Cinque Terre – and you are a true lover of Ligurian cuisine, but especially of pesto?
La Trattoria da Turin offers you the chance to participate in an exclusive experience: our Pesto Experience, a cooking workshop that will guide you in the preparation of pesto al mortaio, as in the old-fashioned tradition, in a friendly and convivial atmosphere.
Discover the tradition of mortar making and the taste of true Genoese pesto
The preparation of Genoese pesto is an art, and the secret lies precisely in the ingredients, which are fresh and genuine, but above all in the technique used to prepare it: by mortar, as the Ligurian tradition dictates.
This is not just another experience, but a real opportunity to immerse yourself in local tradition.
During our workshop you will have the opportunity to:
- Discover and immerse yourself in the history and origins of Ligurian pesto
- Select and touch fresh and genuine ingredients such as PDO basil, pine nuts, Parmigiano Reggiano, pecorino, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and salt
- Learning the traditional mortar technique
- Enjoying your freshly made pesto
Why participate
La Pesto Experience is perfect for those who want to get closer to Ligurian cuisine and its gastronomic culture, learn the traditional mortar technique and experience a special moment in a cozy and convivial environment.
In addition, it can be a great gift idea and a fun activity to share with friends and family!
Book your Pesto Experience and take the authentic flavor of Liguria home with you!
