Sorrento : Cooking class & Wine Pairing with Sommelier by the Sea

About this tour

Learn to roll and fill fresh pasta in a family-owned 1800s villa nestled among Sorrento's lemon and olive groves. A chef guides you through making tagliatelle and ravioli by hand, then you sit down to eat what you've cooked alongside local cheeses and cured meats. A sommelier pairs regional wines with each course, and you'll taste estate olive oil too. Three hours total, ending with homemade tiramisu and a recipe booklet to take home.

What to expect

You'll spend the first part of the session at a wooden table learning pasta techniques—kneading dough, rolling sheets, cutting and filling shapes—from a chef who works through each step unhurried. The villa's garden surrounds you, scent of citrus heavy in the air. Once your pasta is ready, you move to a dining area where the chef cooks what you've made. A sommelier then introduces three or four local wines, explaining how each complements the dish in front of you. Olive oil tasting happens between courses. The meal wraps with tiramisu you haven't made yourself but will appreciate after the work.

Good to know

Gluten-free guests should avoid this experience. Children under 18 receive soft drinks instead of wine. The villa is accessible by public transport nearby. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. Strollers and prams are fine for very young children.
