Dont miss this…
It was a wonderful learning experience. The owner of the restaurant in LECCE was our instructor. She was very patient and explained how as a little girl she helped her grandmother make the pasta. There were only four people in our group, which made it possible for hands-on After we made the pasta, we were served our creations. Had wine and fried orchiette ! Highly recommend!!

Really lovely pasta making experience
A great couple of hours making pasta with a little wine tasting as well. Excellent teacher and a lovely group of people also. Not booked anything like this on Tripadvisor before so we were more than pleasantly surprised with the experience as a whole. Thoroughly recommend

Very fun!
So wonderful! Pasta was fun to make, I learned a lot, and the food at the end was delicious! They were also able to serve me gluten free pasta and bread which was a lovely surprise. Also had 3 delicious glasses of wine.

Wonderful Pasta making and wine sampling experience
What a wonderful experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍷 We had such a lovely time at this pasta-making class. It was so much more than just learning how to make pasta — it was a really relaxed, social and enjoyable experience from start to finish. There were just 9 of us, which made it feel really personal and gave us the chance to chat, laugh and get to know each other while our pasta was being prepared and cooked for us in a delicious tomato sauce. The wine tasting was the perfect addition too. We sampled red, rosé and white wines while enjoying the food and the company, and the whole evening had such a lovely, relaxed Italian feel. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and made everyone feel at ease. It was one of those experiences where you can simply sit back, enjoy yourself and soak up the atmosphere. A fantastic experience that we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lecce Italy. We left with full stomachs, happy memories ❤️🇮🇹

Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lecce.
How much does Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lecce usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Lecce is not rushed.
Is Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 244 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lecce, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce?
+
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 Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce?
+
Around 85 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 Lecce 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 Lecce and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Orecchiette Cooking Class and Wine in Lecce 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 Lecce 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 Lecce?
+
On Outty we rank every Lecce experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 hours - Boat Tour to the Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca, Understand Lecce: History & Local Stories | Small Group Tour, Tour to 4 Towns of Salento: Otranto, Leuca, Gallipoli, Galatina. 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 Lecce?
+
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 Lecce?
+
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.
