Three-hour cooking class offered as a Neapolitan class or a class in a lemon grove; minimum age 10.
The Sorrento Food Tours Cooking Class is offered by Sorrento Food Tours (sorrentofoodtours.com), a local operator based in Sorrento, in the Campania region of Italy. It is a three-hour, hands-on class that can be booked in two settings: a Neapolitan-style home cooking class or a class held in a lemon grove. The meeting point is sent after booking, and the exact location around Sorrento is confirmed by the operator at that stage.
Participants prepare traditional Neapolitan home dishes under the direction of a local guide, working through several recipes rather than a single dish. The menu is mostly savoury, built around fresh pasta, sauces and regional staples, and it usually finishes with a sweet course in keeping with Campanian custom. The lemon grove version adds the setting of a working citrus garden, where Sorrento lemons are a key ingredient and part of the experience.
Pricing starts at about EUR 145 (roughly USD 167) per person. The price covers the class, the guide and a lunch or dinner made up of the dishes cooked, depending on the departure time. Hotel transfers, tips and extra drinks beyond those offered at the meal are not included. The minimum age for the class is 10, which makes it workable for families with older children.
Group size and language are confirmed at booking; classes are normally run in English. Dietary substitutions, including vegetarian and allergy-related changes, should be requested in advance so ingredients can be prepared. The pace is relaxed and participatory, with time to sit down and eat what has been cooked. The class operates year-round, and the operator can be reached on +39 331 304 5666.
