Where is the cooking class hosted?

We will meet in Polignano, one of the most famous villages in Puglia known for its incomparable beauty. Its old town was built on a rocky spur overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Strolling through its narrow alleyways you can breathe in the most authentic Apulian soul and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the sea.
Together we will go to a fishmonger’s to buy fresh fish. Local fishermen go fishing at night until dawn. After their catch, they take their products straight to local fishmongers or fish markets.
You will be fascinated by the quality and the many types of fish at the fishmongers’ counters!
Then we will move in an ancient farmhouse located a few kilometres away from Polignano.
The Apulian farmhouses are the most iconic symbols of Apulian rural culture. We have therefore chosen this location to give you an authentic experience, in close contact with the local people.
