Matera Pasta Class: Prosecco, Lunch & Souvenir in Sassi Oil Mill

Step inside a historic cave in the heart of Sassi di Matera, once used as an ancient olive oil mill, and discover Matera’s rural food traditions through a hands-on pasta-making class.

Begin with a welcome glass of prosecco while exploring the original stone milling spaces carved into the rock. Then learn how to make handmade cavatelli or orecchiette alongside a local expert using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Choose between two options: the “Pasta Class” experience includes the pasta workshop, welcome prosecco, a souvenir participation certificate, and the chance to take home the handmade pasta prepared during the class. Or select the “Pasta Class with Lunch” option to enjoy a complete cave dining experience inside the historic cave setting.

This small-group experience embraces a true farm-to-table philosophy, with seasonal ingredients and authentic local recipes inspired by southern Italian rural cuisine.
