Cooking Class & Farmhouse Tour on the Amalfi Coast

Harvest vegetables from the garden, then cook them in a farmhouse kitchen.

A hands-on cooking class and farmhouse tour on the Amalfi Coast where you pick seasonal vegetables from terraced gardens, learn to prepare traditional Italian dishes from an expert chef, and eat a four-course meal of what you've made, paired with local wine and limoncello. The menu changes with the season and what's available that day. Children are welcome from age 8. Vegetarian options are available with advance notice.

The experience

The morning starts with a walk through the terraced gardens that slope down the Amalfi hillside: lemon groves, olive trees, and vineyards planted the way they've been for centuries. Your guide explains how each one feeds into the region's food and wine: the lemons that become Limoncello, the olives that press into oil, the grapes that ferment into wine. You'll stop at the vegetable garden, put on gloves, and pick whatever is growing that day: tomatoes, zucchini, herbs, whatever the season offers. That basket of vegetables is what you'll cook with in a few hours.

Once you're in the kitchen wearing an apron, an expert chef walks you through making several dishes at once. You'll shape homemade pasta, fry ricotta-filled zucchini flowers, prepare bruschetta with fresh toppings, and build other plates from what you picked. The menu is never the same twice because it follows what's in the garden that morning. You're not watching a demonstration. You're handling the ingredients, learning the technique, making the food yourself.

When everything is ready, you sit down to a four-course meal of the dishes you've made, plus other local specialties the kitchen has prepared. Local wine, Amalfi Coast Limoncello, and real Neapolitan espresso come with it. The class runs four hours total, and you leave with a cooking diploma and printed recipes so you can make these dishes at home.
