Cooking lesson in a greengrocer's shop in Brindisi's historic centre The lesson takes place in Velia's fruit and vegetable shop at Via Gallipoli 28, in the historic centre of Brindisi, a 10-minute walk from the cruise ship port. Velia leads the lesson in English. You make fresh pasta by hand, including orecchiette, the typical pasta shape of Puglia. The other dishes change with the season, using produce from the shop and the family farm. At the end of the lesson you have lunch in the shop with the dishes you prepared, served with local wine and water. If you wish, you can buy fruit, vegetables and other products from the shop, not included in the price. Suitable for cruise passengers and visitors to Brindisi: the shop is within walking distance of the port and the train station. Vegetarian alternatives on request; guests with celiac disease or gluten intolerance must let us know before the lesson, when booking. The shop is wheelchair accessible.
