Orecchiette Workshop

The cuisine of Puglia is one of the most renowned in southern Italy. Do you want to learn how to make its most traditional recipes? To do so, we’ll meet at the venue located at 20 Via San Vito.

As soon as we arrive at this house in the historic center of Polignano a Mare, we’ll enjoy a welcome apéritif that includes focaccia and seasonal vegetables with taralli. These crunchy bread rings will make your mouth water. We’ll also accompany this snack with wine.
