About this tour
A three-hour cooking class in a traditional farmhouse above Sorrento where you'll harvest vegetables, make fresh pasta by hand and tiramisu, then eat what you've cooked on a terrace with views across the Gulf. You'll learn local techniques in an authentic country kitchen, not a tourist studio. Suits anyone keen to get their hands dirty and eat well; no cooking experience needed.
Highlights
- Harvest vegetables straight from the farm garden
- Make two types of fresh pasta from scratch
- Prepare tiramisu dessert in a rustic country kitchen
- Meal served on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento
- Wine and local beverages included throughout
- Small group in a genuine farmhouse, not a cooking school
What to expect
You'll start in the farmhouse garden, picking seasonal vegetables for the day's menu. Back in the old kitchen, the instructor will walk you through pasta-making — rolling, cutting and shaping by hand — then guide you through tiramisu assembly. There's time for questions and tasting as you work. Once everything's ready, you'll move to the terrace to sit down, eat the pasta and dessert you've made, and drink wine or local drinks while taking in the view. Coffee and tea wrap things up.
Expect a relaxed pace rather than a race. You're cooking a real meal for yourself, not performing for an audience.

Good to know
Best for foodies and anyone curious about how Sorrentine cooking actually works, rather than tourists after a quick cultural tick-box. No prior kitchen skill required, though you'll be standing and using your hands for three hours — wear clothes you don't mind flour on. Practical notes: the farmhouse is in the hills, so factor in transport to reach it. Group size isn't specified, but farm classes typically run small. Weather shouldn't disrupt the indoor cooking portion, though the terrace meal could be affected by heavy rain. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Cost doesn't flag any hidden charges beyond what's listed (water, drinks, lunch, snacks and coffee/tea are in).
