About this tour
Learn to cook traditional Sorrentine dishes at a family-run villa perched in the hills above the city. Your hosts—multigenerational locals—walk you through their working garden, vineyard and farm before you harvest ingredients and prepare lunch together. Four hours of hands-on cooking, storytelling and eating in a place that hasn't been retrofitted for tourists. You'll drink their wine, taste the food you've made, and leave with techniques rooted in the region's everyday kitchen.
Highlights
- Harvest vegetables straight from the villa's garden
- Cook an entire meal with a Sorrentine family
- Tour active vineyard and farm buildings
- Lunch paired with the family's own wine
- Private transport included from nearby town
- Four-hour immersive experience, no crowds
What to expect
You'll arrive at a flower-filled villa on the Sorrentine slopes and be greeted by the family who live and work there. After a walk through their garden—picking what you'll cook—you'll see the vineyard, wine cellars and farm areas. In the kitchen, they'll show you how to prepare regional dishes using what you've gathered. Expect chopping, mixing, tasting and mistakes; they'll guide you through it all. Lunch happens at a table with their wine poured, coffee after. It's domestic cooking, not restaurant technique.
Good to know
Private transport picks you up and drops you back. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour or soil on. The villa is accessible by pram or stroller if needed. Bring sunscreen for the garden section. Lunch includes local wine; non-drinkers can request water.
