The experience

You'll start at a meeting point in Sorrento Centre, where a shuttle picks you up and takes you to the cooking space on the hills outside town. The class itself is hands-on: you make fresh pasta using the traditional recipe, shape it, and prepare eggplant parmigiana alongside it. You'll work with local products (mozzarella and olive oil from the area), and the instructor guides you through each step.

Once everything is cooked, you sit down to taste what you've made while sipping local wine. Lunch is included as part of the experience, so you're eating the food you've prepared, not something separate. The whole thing takes 2.5 hours from start to finish.

The class is wheelchair accessible, and children can attend as long as an adult is with them. Service animals are welcome. You'll leave with the recipes and the muscle memory to cook these dishes at home.
