Sorrento: Pizza Making Class & Wine on Hilltop Terrace

Summary

Pizza tossing laughter olive oil scents and Sorrento hills warmth

You’ll taste fresh mozzarella and local olive oils right on a Sorrento hillside terrace before learning how to toss real Neapolitan pizza dough with friendly locals. Enjoy your own creation with plenty of wine and finish off with homemade tiramisu — it’s relaxed, hands-on fun that leaves you smiling long after lunch ends.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — we almost missed the turn for the place because the GPS kept insisting it was “right here,” but all we saw was a lemon grove and a sleepy cat. When we finally found the driveway, our host Marco waved from the terrace like he’d been expecting us all morning. He handed us a piece of mozzarella before we’d even set our bags down — still warm, kind of stretchy, and honestly better than any cheese I’ve ever had back home. The air smelled like basil and something sweet I couldn’t place.

We started with olive oil tasting (I dripped some on my shirt immediately — classic). Marco’s sister explained which olives grew right there on their hillside in Sorrento. She laughed when I tried to guess the flavors in Italian. The view from their terrace made me forget about my stained shirt; you could see all the way to the sea if you squinted past the lemon trees. Then came the pizza lesson. My dough looked more like a lopsided cloud than anything round, but nobody cared — everyone was too busy sipping wine and sneaking bits of fresh tomato.

The best part? Eating what you just made, still hot from their wood oven, with that local wine they kept pouring (maybe too generously). Someone’s kid ran by chasing a chicken — not part of the “official” pizza making class in Sorrento, but it made us laugh so hard I nearly dropped my slice. We finished with homemade tiramisu that tasted like someone’s grandma had made it. On the drive back down to town, I caught myself grinning at nothing out the window, thinking about how simple things can feel so good sometimes.
