For the best cooking classes in Brindisi, several standout options showcase authentic Pugliese cuisine. I love the 4-hour market-to-table experience that connects travelers with local families – it’s wonderfully hands-on and gives you real insight into daily Italian life. The certified home cooks who lead 3-hour classes deserve special mention for their traditional techniques and small-group attention.
Two fantastic choices let you focus on pasta making: a 2.5-hour session in olive country (where you’ll learn the tricks that Italian grandmothers swear by) and a 3.5-hour market-and-kitchen combo class. For pure authenticity, the private 2.5-hour cooking lesson with lunch hits all the right notes.
These are our favorite culinary experiences in Brindisi:
