Brindisi Market Tour & Cooking Class: Pasta & Tiramisu

Shop the market, cook two dishes, taste everything you've made

A small-group cooking class in Brindisi where you visit the local market with a Cesarina host, learn to make one iconic pasta type and tiramisu, then eat what you've prepared with local wines. The class runs five hours and includes the market tour, an Italian aperitivo, and a tasting session with beverages and coffee.

The experience

The local market in Brindisi is where the class starts. Your Cesarina host meets you there and walks you through how to pick seasonal ingredients the way locals do: what to look for, what's at its peak, which vendors know their craft. This is not a sightseeing pass through the stalls. You're learning to shop like someone who cooks here every day, and the host points out the things that matter for what you'll make later.

Back at the host's home, you warm up with an Italian aperitivo (Prosecco and nibbles), then move into the kitchen. You'll make one iconic pasta type typical of Brindisi and the famous tiramisu. The instruction is hands-on: you're at the counter doing the work, not watching a demonstration. The host teaches you the technique, the timing, the small moves that change the result. After the class, you sit down and eat everything you've prepared, paired with local wines, plus coffee and other beverages.

The group stays small, which means you get real attention from the host and real conversation with the other guests. The whole experience runs about five hours from market to table.
