You arrive under the lemon trees: sun slices between broad leaves, the sea murmurs beyond a low wall, and an 1800 villa opens its shutters to the scent of olive oil and citrus. The lesson begins at a wooden table covered with flour, where a local chef guides your hands through rolling tagliatelle and folding ravioli while a sommelier describes the wine you’ll pair with each bite.
