Amalfi Coast Gourmet Safari with Cooking Class

Discover the Amalfi Coast Gourmet Safari with Cooking Class  

Step into the authentic rhythm of Italian life with this hands-on gourmet experience through the Amalfi Coast and Campania countryside. This 7–8 hour private culinary day trip invites you to explore the flavors, farms, and traditions that define southern Italy — culminating in a joyful pasta-making class using homegrown ingredients. From vineyard tastings to lemon groves and homemade limoncello, it’s a day that blends discovery, indulgence, and creativity in perfect balance.

What Makes This Experience Unique  

Unlike traditional food tours, the Gourmet Safari with Cooking Class invites you into the kitchen. Guided by local cooks, you’ll pick vegetables straight from the garden, learn to prepare fresh pasta, and discover the secrets of regional sauces and cheeses. Every step — from kneading dough to raising a glass of local wine — connects you more deeply with the land and its people. This is slow travel at its finest: immersive, delicious, and completely authentic.

A Full Day of Culinary Exploration  

Departing from Naples, Sorrento, Positano, or Amalfi, your private driver will take you through the stunning Campania countryside to a charming local estate or agriturismo.
Your day begins with a guided visit to the farm, where you’ll pick seasonal vegetables, herbs, and lemons used in the meal. You’ll then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class, preparing pasta and other traditional dishes under the guidance of your local host.

After your cooking session, enjoy the fruits of your labor with a relaxed multi-course lunch paired with regional wines such as Falanghina or Aglianico. The experience concludes with a limoncello tasting – the sweet, citrusy symbol of the Amalfi Coast – made right where the lemons grow.

Cultural and Culinary Highlights  

The Amalfi Coast and its hinterlands have been shaping Italy’s culinary identity for centuries. Fertile volcanic soil, Mediterranean breezes, and ancient family traditions combine to produce some of the country’s most beloved flavors. From handmade pasta to freshly pressed olive oil and the tang of homemade limoncello, this experience celebrates both the artistry and the simplicity of southern Italian cuisine.
