Cooking class, dinner and wine tasting in Lecce (Corigliano)
Overview
Join Enza and her family in their charming villa in Corigliano d’Otranto, a picturesque village just 15 minutes from Lecce and one of the most beautiful historic towns in Salento. Discover the joy of making orecchiette and macaroni using traditional Apulian techniques and fresh local ingredients.
This immersive cooking class takes place in an authentic and welcoming Salento home, where simplicity meets tradition. Together, we'll prepare classic regional recipes using seasonal produce, handmade pasta, extra virgin olive oil, and vegetables grown in our garden or sourced from local farmers.
You'll enjoy a rich table of traditional dishes passed down through generations, from orecchiette with tomato and basil to maccheroni with seafood or chickpea cream and walnut crumble – all paired with excellent local wines. We'll end the evening with a delicious jam tart, a sip of homemade limoncello, and a touch of traditional music – the true flavors and authentic spirit of Puglia.

What To Expect
In a welcoming and authentic Salento family villa, you'll experience a hands-on cooking class and a relaxing dinner full of southern Italian charm. Located in the historical village of Corigliano d’Otranto – just 15 minutes from Lecce – the setting is as special as the food.
You'll start with an aperitif by the pool or near the fireplace, depending on the season. Then, guided by Enza and her family, you’ll make fresh pasta together using time-honored methods. Dinner is served in a cozy, homely setting – on the veranda in summer, or by the fire in winter.
The evening is enriched by laughter, stories, good music, and the company of new friends. Vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-free options are available. Children are welcome, and the space is accessible and family-friendly. At the end of the evening, enjoy a taste of our homemade limoncello and feel like part of the family.
