The 3 Best Cheese Tastings in Italy

1.Farm Tour with Cheese Tasting & Pizza Making Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 503 reviews Our pick

Francesco and his family welcome you to Primaluce, a hillside farm above Sorrento. You’ll walk among vineyards, citrus trees, olives, crops, and animals, then make pizza, taste fresh mozzarella and caciotta, and sit down to a generous farm lunch with wine, limoncello, and dessert. Pickup and drop-off from central Sorrento are included.

“An absolutely brilliant activity! We were collected from the centre of Sorrento and driven up to the farm, the location is up on the hill, with the most beautiful views. From the second you meet Francesco you feel really welcomed. Walking through the farm, learning about all the things they do on the farm is really interesting. Francesco and his lovely wife and daughters are a huge part of this activity. We have travelled around Italy on this trip and we've done some really great things, but this is definitely by far my favourite and would highly recommend, if you are travelling to Sorrento! 5* from us!”
