A fun evening and a great learning experience
Juanita is an excellent teacher! She was warm and patient and the food was great! We also enjoyed her homemade appetizers and wine. The olive oil came from her family’s olive grove. We really enjoyed ourselves. My husband was a bit reluctant to go but he was glad that we did it!

Really foccacio in Bari.
Juanita was an experienced cook and an expert in Bari food. She welcomed us in her home and treated us like family. She was very organi,ed and the food was excellent. Had a lot of fun.

Highly recommend. Excellent & genuine experience in every way - learnt techniques, lots of fun and delicious meal!
Best experience and so glad we chose this class - it was our real privilege to be in Juanita's home and learn from someone who herself learnt from her Nonna and has a passion for sharing her knowledge and skills. Juanita is a great teacher, shared "how to" tips and tricks which make all the difference to a recipe, but she is also a lot of fun, funny and interesting. Fabulous small group size. We were offered bread, oil, artichoke, meats, etc. and her own peperonata, with wine, while we waited for the dough to rise, and then we ate the focaccia and pasta, with coffee to finish, so the class includes a lovely meal. This is a very genuine Italian cooking class. Highly recommend Juanita.

10/10 Would Recommend
We loved everything about this class - from joining Juanita in her home to the instruction and the delicious meal we shared, it was perfect. With just us and one other couple, it was the perfect group size for the class. Juanita was a perfect instructor, and an excellent chef. We had a few hours to share this experience in her home, but I wish we could've spent days talking to her about Italy, her family and cooking. We would absolutely do this again, and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Charm, hospitality, laughter, pasta, wine. Truly magical.
More than our expectations. Anita was a warm and welcoming host. She was entertaining as well as a perfect teacher. The whole experience was beyond what we expected. Not only did we learn how to make focaccia and pasta but Anita presented a magnificent apperativo with locally produced foods and excellent wine. She welcomed us into her home like old friends and she shared her knowledge and love of creating wonderful food with charm and a few jokes along the way. We walked away not only with our stomachs full but also with a long lasting memory of a great experience. Thank you Anita for making this an exceptional evening.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bari usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bari is not rushed.
Is Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bari can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bari and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bari within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bari?
+
On Outty we rank every Bari experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bari’s Ultimate Street Food Tour - Small Group by Do Eat Better, Shared Boat Tour in Polignano a Mare with Aperitif, Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bari?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bari?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia?
+

Where is the meeting point for Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia?
+
My house is a 15 minute walk from the central train station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bari: Cooking class with wine, fresh pasta, and Bari focaccia?
+
