Sorrento Farm Tour: Pizza, Cheese & Wine Tasting Experience

Summary

Farm walks cheese making pizza school & limoncello in sorrento hills

You’ll walk Sorrento’s green hills with locals who treat you like family—feeding goats, tasting fresh tomatoes, spinning mozzarella by hand, rolling your own pizza dough. Enjoy lunch under olive trees with house wine and finish with homemade limoncello. It’s warm, messy fun—the kind you’ll remember when you smell lemons again.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to be handed a glass of homemade lemonade before I’d even put my bag down. The air up in the Sorrento hills smelled like cut grass and lemon peels—honestly, I still catch myself thinking about it when I open a bottle at home. Our guide, Francesca, waved us over to meet the goats first (one tried to eat my shoelace—she said his name was Gino). Everyone laughed, and for a second it felt less like a tour and more like visiting family you hadn’t met yet.

We wandered through rows of tomatoes and basil—Francesca pointed out which ones would end up on our pizzas later. There was this patch of sunflowers leaning toward the sea; I kept stopping to look back at the blue stretch of the Gulf of Naples below. She let us taste a tomato right off the vine—warm from the sun, sweet but with this earthy bite. It’s hard to explain but food just tastes different here, maybe because you can see exactly where it comes from.

The cheese part was messier than I thought. We watched Nonna Maria spin mozzarella by hand—she moved so fast, I nearly missed how she pinched off these perfect white balls. She grinned and handed me one straight from the hot water; it was soft and salty and almost squeaked between my teeth. Then we rolled dough for pizza (mine came out lopsided—Francesca said “more character that way!”). Lunch was outside under some olive trees, with plates of antipasto and our own pizzas. Someone poured wine for everyone, and there was this moment where nobody talked—just forks clinking and cicadas buzzing somewhere nearby.

After all that, we finished with tiny glasses of limoncello in the shade. It burned a little going down but tasted like summer if that makes sense. I left with flour on my shirt and olive oil on my hands—and honestly, I wouldn’t have changed anything about that day.
