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.
