About this tour
Step into a Positano home to learn pasta-making from a local cook steeped in family tradition. Over three hours, you'll pick vegetables from the garden, roll out ravioli and tagliatelle by hand, and discover the regional techniques that make each shape matter. Cook two pasta dishes from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside wine and homemade liqueurs, picking up recipes and stories you'll actually use at home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a private home in Positano and start in the garden, picking the ingredients you'll use. Back in the kitchen, your host walks you through pasta dough from flour and eggs—the proportions, the kneading, the resting. You'll shape ravioli by hand, learning to seal the edges properly, then move to tagliatelle, rolling and cutting long, even ribbons. Two sauces come together while the pasta rests. Around lunch, you sit down to eat your ravioli and tagliatelle with wine. A traditional cake recipe rounds things out, followed by digestifs.
Good to know
Children and infants welcome; prams and specialised seats available. The class runs three hours including lunch. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Take notes—your host will share family methods you'll want to remember.
