Make a Ligurian aperitivo with a view of Tigullio Bay

Create a traditional Ligurian aperitif featuring local specialties such as focaccia, pesto, and a glass of regional wine — all set in an exclusive location with stunning sea views

Villa Durazzo, in the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure, is more than just a historic seaside villa — it's the perfect place to discover the art of the authentic Ligurian aperitivo. In this cooking class, you'll learn how to prepare some of the most iconic specialties of our culinary tradition: from crispy focaccia to pesto made by hand in a marble mortar, all the way to assembling a full aperitivo using seasonal, local ingredients.

Everything is paired with a glass of regional wine, carefully selected to enhance each bite. Surrounded by frescoed halls and Italian-style gardens overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio, this experience becomes a true journey through the flavors, gestures, and stories of the most authentic Liguria.

A class that blends taste, Ligurian tradition, and conviviality.
