The experience

The day starts with private pickup from Amalfi and a drive along the coast that climbs and winds above the Mediterranean. You stop in Positano for an hour to walk its pastel-colored streets, browse the boutique shops, and find a viewpoint over the water. The road then turns inland toward the hills where a family farmhouse sits among the gardens and olive trees.

At the farmhouse, a local chef walks you through making handmade pasta, fresh tomato sauce, and tiramisù. You work with your hands (rolling dough, layering the dessert) rather than watching a demonstration. Once the cooking is done, you move to the garden, sit down with the other guests, and eat the lunch you made, paired with local wines. The meal is unhurried. There is no rush to move on.

The return transfer takes you back to Amalfi. The whole day runs six hours from start to finish.
