There is no better way to experience Italy’s authentic regional cuisine than in a local kitchen. With this experience, learn to make traditional “chitarra” and “tagliatelle” pasta from Abruzzo with a true Italian “nonna” (grandmother) in her home. Your 83-year-old instructor will lead you through the preparation of both pastas and their sauces, and then you will sit down together to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Like most of Italy, Abruzzo is famous for its wine, so no visit would be complete without sampling some of the local vino. Visit one the oldest wineries in the region for a wine-tasting session paired with a sampling of local olive oils, cheeses, salumi, and sausages. Follow the entire wine-making process, from weighing to pressing, and visit cellars where hundreds of thousands of bottles are stored for aging.

Learn to make traditional ‘chitarra’ pasta at a small-group cooking class in Abruzzo—you’ll start with raw ingredients, mix the pasta dough, and shape the pasta using a unique stringed tool. When the pasta is made, create a classic Abruzzo meat sauce for a regional feast; since you’ll make the meal from scratch, you’ll learn everything you need to recreate the dish in your home kitchen.

During the guided tour you will learn about the history of the ancient farm and the various cultivation techniques. Inside the cellar you can taste the wines of Podere Castorani accompanied by typical local products. The Podere Castorani rises 350 meters high, on a hill of Alanno where the ancient vineyards, set between the Majella National Park and the nearby Adriatic coast, enjoy excellent exposure to the sun and night winds, and temperature changes between day and night that give the grapes unique and precious characteristics.

Overlooking the so-called Golfo d’Oro on the Costa dei Trabocchi, the charming town of Vasto boasts ancient origins dating back to Roman times. Valuable examples of this first phase are the beautiful floor mosaics of the Roman baths. Among historical anecdotes and popular beliefs, between the twilight of the devotional chapels and the luminous panoramic walk on the Amblingh loggia, the visit itinerary unravels touching the major monuments of the city, in a journey to discover Abruzzo along the centuries until today. At the end of the tour, it will be possible to optionally visit the Civic Museums of Palazzo d’Avalos or spend time in the shops and shops of the historic center.
