Pesto from field to table
Pesto from field to table
Discover how the main ingredient of the most famous green sauce in the World grows! Join us in this unique experience.
We will take you to the historical basil greenhouses where local producers have been cultivating Genoese basil for about two centuries. You’ll visit the farm and see how they grow their superior basil, known all over the world, learning curiosities about its production.
Then you’ll reach Genoa historical center on your own and enter a noble palace where a local culinary expert will welcome you to participate in a pesto sauce lesson with mortar and pestle, just as tradition wants. After the pesto lesson, you will taste your pesto with a dish of “trofie” typical pasta, delicious focaccia and local wine.
