Pizza and Cheese Making Class in Sorrento: Farm to Table

Shape mozzarella and stretch pizza dough, then sit down to the meal you built

A four-hour farm class in Sorrento where you make mozzarella, craft pizza dough and learn to stretch it, then eat your pizza at lunch with house antipasto, seasonal pasta, wine and limoncello. The farm sits on the hills above the Bay of Naples, and the class includes a walk through the vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards, plus tastings of the oil and limoncello made there. An English-speaking guide leads the group through the day.

The experience

The morning starts with a welcome drink, then moves straight into the farm itself. You'll see the animals, walk through the seasonal crops, and stop at the vineyard to taste the wine, the olive grove to taste the oil, and the citrus grove to taste the limoncello. These aren't lectures. The guide explains what grows where and why, and you taste as you go. The pace is built around the farm's own rhythm, not a clock.

Then comes the hands-on part. You'll watch a demonstration of how mozzarella is stretched and shaped, then do it yourself with guidance: the same for the caciotta cheese. After that, the pizza lesson: you learn to work the dough, shape it, and get it into the oven. The guide shows the technique, corrects your grip, and by the time you're done you'll have made something you recognize as pizza. You taste what you've made right there, still warm.

Lunch is the pizza you made, plus house-made antipasto with fresh mozzarella and field vegetables, a seasonal pasta dish, and a traditional dessert. Water, wine and limoncello are included. The meal happens in the agriturismo, the farm's own restaurant, and you eat outdoors when the weather holds. If heavy rain makes the farm walk unsafe, that part can be skipped and the class and lunch go ahead indoors. In rare cases the whole experience closes and you get a full refund.
