Authentic cooking class on a farm with a view of Sorrento.

About this tour

Learn to cook three Sorrentino classics in a working farmhouse kitchen perched above the Gulf. You'll pick vegetables straight from the garden, then shape fresh pasta by hand and assemble tiramisu alongside a local cook who'll walk you through regional methods passed down through generations. The three-hour session wraps with lunch on the terrace where you eat what you've made, Gulf views included.

Highlights

• Harvest vegetables from the working farm garden
• Hand-roll two varieties of fresh pasta from scratch
• Prepare traditional tiramisu in a rural kitchen
• Eat your finished dishes on a Gulf-facing terrace
• Learn cooking techniques direct from local practice

What to expect

You'll arrive at a hillside farmhouse and move straight into the kitchen. Expect to get your hands floury—rolling pasta takes practice and the cook won't let you off easy. You'll pick ripe produce from the garden beds, then return to chop, mix and shape at a wooden bench. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a race through steps. Once everything is cooked, you'll carry plates outside to a terrace with an unobstructed view down to Sorrento and the water beyond. Lunch is what you've made, plus bread and wine.

Good to know

Three hours includes cooking and eating. Wear clothes you don't mind getting stained. The farmhouse kitchen is old and charming but genuinely functional—no air conditioning. Bring sunscreen for the terrace. Infants must sit on an adult's lap.
