Overview
In this totally unique and beautiful setting you will get to experience the rich culinary traditions of Italy with our immersive farm-to-table cooking class. This hands-on experience begins with a guided tour of our terraced gardens, where you will explore the ancient cultivation methods that are vital to sustainability and environmental conservation on the Amalfi Coast. You will stroll through our lemon grove, olive grove, and vineyard, learning about the significance of these crops in the Mediterranean diet, and discover how our renowned Limoncello, olive oil, and wine are produced.
After the garden tour, you will move on to the vegetable garden. With gloves and wicker baskets in hand, you will harvest fresh, seasonal produce and fragrant herbs that will be used in the cooking class. Once the harvesting is complete, you will put on your kitchen aprons and start preparing traditional Italian dishes under the guidance of our experienced chefs.
The menu for the class will vary depending on the season and the availability of ingredients, but some of the specialties you may prepare include:
- Fried ricotta and anchovies-filled zucchini flowers
- Smoked mozzarella grilled in lemon leaves
- Fried smoked mozzarella-filled anchovies
- Caciocavallo and prosciutto-filled eggplant rolls

Following the cooking session, you will sit down to enjoy the delicious dishes you’ve prepared, accompanied by local wine, limoncello, and authentic Neapolitan espresso. The experience concludes with a relaxing time in the lemon grove, where you can enjoy the stunning coastal view while sipping a glass of wine or lounging in comfortable hammocks.

They k ... [Read More]
