Amalfi Coast Cooking Class from Salerno: Make Pasta & Tiramisù

You make the meal, then sit down and eat it.

A six-hour private tour from Salerno combines coastal travel to Amalfi with a hands-on cooking class at a family farmhouse in the hills. You learn to prepare classic Italian dishes (handmade pasta, fresh tomato sauce, and tiramisù) under a local chef's guidance, then enjoy lunch in the garden paired with local wines. Private transfer both ways is included.

The experience

The day starts with private pickup in Salerno and winds along the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast toward the seaside village of Amalfi. You have an hour to walk the pastel streets, look at the shops, and find a viewpoint over the water before heading inland to the farmhouse where the cooking begins.

At the family-run farmhouse, a local chef walks you through making handmade pasta, fresh tomato sauce, and tiramisù: the hands-on kind of instruction where you're doing the work, not watching a demonstration. Once everything is ready, you move to the garden, sit down with the dishes you just made, and eat them with local wines. This is not a tasting menu someone else prepared. It's the lunch you built.

After eating, the return transfer takes you back to Salerno, ending the tour around six hours after it started.
