What you'll do
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the Sassi di Matera and discover a true Italian farm. Silvia, Greg and Agriturismo L'Assiolo invite you to your own personal cooking class set at a beautiful local organic olive and orange farm just outside of Matera in the Italian countryside. First up, a quick tour of the farm so that you can really understand where the food we use in this part of the world comes from. Learn all about our 'liquid gold', extra virgin olive oil, and how we produce it with our very own trees. What’s more, you’ll get the chance to eat some fruit straight from a tree - just like a real Italian farmer! Then, it’ll be straight into the kitchen where you’ll meet Silvia, the daughter of the family, who has had over 20 years of seeing her Mamma wow local and international guests with her traditional Matera, farmhouse cooking. You’ll learn the authentic, original way to make fresh pasta, a typical pasta sauce and also two typical dishes from Matera. From secret techniques to our philosophy of simplicity, this special experience in the countryside of Southern Italy will whisk you away to a side of Italy that is truly authentic.

Traveller reviews
Exceptional! Both Greg and Silvia are passionate about what they do. We learned a lot, and had a really great time.
Greg picked us up near our hotel. It was a pleasant drive to the agriturismo. We learned about the family history of the farm and the evolution of the olive, lemon, and orange orchards. We tasted sugared fresh lemon slices along our tour. Greg introduced us to his lovely wife Silvia. She taught us how to make pasta and sauces for our lunch. The meal and wine were delicious finishing with their homemade limoncello. The whole afternoon was entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this class not only for the cooking lessons but, to see another side of Matera and Basilicata.
Greg and Silvia provided us an amazing culinary experience on their Agricultural property l’Assiolo. We not only learned so much about their Olive grove, it’s history, the process of producing some delicious extra virgin olive oil, and the Lucano food and wine, but we gained some invaluable cooking tips and methods of Italian cuisine. More importantly the food we learned how to cook, hands down the best meal we had while in Puglia.
Great experience hosted by two delightful folks! Greg and Sylvia made us feel like family. We enjoyed the tour of the property and the tales of the family’s history and recipes during our cooking class. Absolutely recommend!
Amazing and memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Had an absolutely incredible experience at Matera Cooking Class today - Greg and Silvia were the ultimate hosts. From sharing the Matera history and story behind the farm, to hands on traditional and authentic pasta making - we loved every second and every bite! 😍
This was the BEST experience we have had in a cooking class. Greg and Silvia were so kind and love what they do. They were very accommodating to our family especially having a child with special needs. We would highly recommend you booking a class with them to learn true authentic Italian cooking!
Fantastic start to finish. Greg gave a terrific perspective and tour of the farm/agriturismo and Silvia brought life, live and simplicity to her class.
