Overview

This cooking experience unfolds in a truly unique setting on Italy's Amalfi Coast, hosted on a family-owned farm passed down through generations. The adventure begins with a guided tour of our terraced gardens, where you'll discover ancient cultivation techniques essential for sustainability and environmental conservation in this stunning coastal region.

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.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went.
