2.Pizza Making Class

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 706 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $71Best value

Ride from central Sorrento to a hillside cooking school, where Luigi and Laura show you how Neapolitan pizza comes together. You will taste fresh mozzarella and local olive oils, shape and top a pizza, watch it bake in a traditional oven, then eat it with wine and tiramisu. A recipe helps you repeat the lesson at home.

“Great activity! The shuttle was a little late picking us up which led to some confusion but was only 15 mins after we were told. Once picked up though it was a great evening! Lovely little place, they were really friendly, we had red wine on arrival, learned about mozzarella, learned how to make dough, how to shape and “top” a pizza and then sat down to eat what we’d made with white wine. Seating wasn’t the best, we were with a large group who were hard to talk to after getting to know some on the other table. But a really great experience overall, I would definitely recommend it…”

3.Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 597 reviews

Meet at Terrazza delle Sirene, enjoy Prosecco, then ride by included minibus to a sea-view restaurant. With English-speaking chefs such as Antonio, Maria, Massimo, and Francisco, you make two pastas and tiramisu before sitting down with wine and limoncello.

“Our chef was very friendly and kept us on task. We had 7 in our group. The main room was under construction so we were in the smaller room, which was fine. The small coach took us to the restaurant in about 30 minutes. We made tiramisu, tagliatelle, and spinach-sage ravioli. We ate in a group with wine and finished with a limoncello. It was a really nice experience!”

4.Farm Tour with Cheese Tasting & Pizza Making Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 503 reviews

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!”

Knead dough, shape your base, watch it bake, and eat it with drinks in a lemon and olive garden overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

“This was a fantastic experience! Our family of 4 (husband, wife, college student and 10 yr old sons) were picked up in a clean minivan outside the Sorrento town square and quickly transported to a lemon orchard which was beautifully prepared for our arrival. Francesco is an excellent instructor as he was very knowledgeable and light hearted. It was a rainy day yet we were still outside and protected by shelter. We learned how to make Napoleon style crust, focaccia and, ultimately, our own pizzas. The tables were filled will wine and fun new friends we met on this adventure. Inside the facility another group was learning how to make…”
