Sorrento Cooking Class and Food Experience

A hands-on journey through the authentic flavors and culinary traditions of the Amalfi Coast.

This Sorrento cooking class places you at the center of a genuine Italian kitchen experience, guiding you through time-honored recipes using locally sourced ingredients, freshly harvested citrus, and the finest extra virgin olive oils from a family-run mill. Over four and a half hours, you will cook, taste, and celebrate the Mediterranean table in one of Italy's most beloved coastal towns.

The session opens with a welcome drink and bruschetta before moving into a structured menu that includes homemade ravioli, a classic Caprese salad, and a traditional tiramisu. Seasonal vegetables, fragrant herbs, and Sorrento's famous lemons and oranges sourced directly from local gardens bring each dish to life with genuine regional character.

An exclusive olive oil tasting offers a closer look at the artisan production behind some of the region's finest extra virgin oils, including varieties infused with citrus and aromatic herbs. Guests also learn the precise craft of preparing Limoncello, from zesting fresh lemons to blending them with spirits according to a local method passed down through generations.
