Salento Workshops
Salento workshops: cooking classes, craft courses, and local experiences.
Step into the heart of traditional Salento crafts
Here at Baia di Gallipoli, we believe holidays are the perfect time to gather memories and feelings. Our Salento workshops grew out of a desire to preserve and pass on the “secrets” of our land. They aren’t just classes, but true sensory journeys where your hands work with the materials and your heart fills with ancient stories.
Nestled within 30 hectares of Mediterranean scrub, the Salento workshops are the perfect places to put your creativity to the test. Joining a workshop means stepping away from technology and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature and tradition, learning techniques passed down through generations. Whether you want to get your hands dirty or mold clay, here you’ll find masters ready to guide you through an authentic life experience.

Salento cooking class: learn the art of traditional Apulian cuisine
Get your hands into the dough and discover the origins of the flavours that have made Salento famous around the world, like orecchiette. Our cooking classes are a true immersion in local tradition: you’ll learn the secrets of handmade pasta, the thumb movement used to shape orecchiette, and the perfect pressure needed to make minchiareddhi. But the best part is the atmosphere: people who were complete strangers just half an hour earlier laughing together, helping one another, and taking photos covered in flour. And just imagine the joy of children learning through play!

Craftsmanship and Creativity: workshop to shape Salento’s local materials
Salento is a land of master artisans. In our workshops, you can try your hand at working with fine, traditional materials like clay in sculpture and modeling classes to create small pieces that capture the essence of the region.
We also organize creative workshops and classes to teach the value of working with natural materials.
