Top Matera Food, Wine & Nightlife

Unlock the flavor of authentic Italian cuisine with a small-group cooking class in Matera. Relax with a glass of wine in the home kitchen of your chef instructor as you learn to prepare four different seasonal dishes using fresh ingredients picked directly from a garden. Sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor while chatting with your host about all things related to Italian home cooking. Enjoy complimentary wine and espresso to round out your meal, and get a copy of all recipes so you can bring a taste of Italy back home.

Discover Matera’s ancient culture, unique landscapes and delicious flavor on a 3-day cooking and sightseeing experience. Visit Alta Murgia Park and the UNESCO-listed Sassi stone dwellings — one of Italy’s oldest settlements. Then, indulge your senses with two private cooking classes at a chef’s home kitchen, where you’ll learn to prepare authentic regional dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The tour includes overnight accommodation in a private apartment, all guided transport and several meals.
