About this tour

Spend a morning on the Sorrento peninsula learning to shape fresh pasta, gnocchi, and filled ravioli from a working chef who'll walk you through traditional Neapolitan techniques. You'll handle the dough yourself, ask questions, and then sit down to eat what you've made alongside local DOC wine, with views across the Bay of Naples towards Vesuvius. The full session runs seven to eight hours and includes bottled water and air-conditioned transport.

Highlights

  • Hands-on pasta making with a practising chef
  • Master traditional gnocchi and caprese ravioli recipes
  • Lunch overlooking the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius
  • Local DOC wine included with the meal
  • Small-group setting in Sorrento peninsula kitchen

What to expect

You'll arrive at a working kitchen where the chef demonstrates pasta techniques before you take over. Expect to get your hands floury—rolling, shaping, and filling pasta while the chef watches and corrects your grip or technique. Questions are encouraged. After an hour or two of hands-on work, you'll cook your pasta and sit down to eat it fresh, dressed simply to taste what you've made. The meal comes with wine poured from the region. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a race through recipes. Bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind dusting.

Good to know

Lunch is not included in the base price. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that move easily. Children and infants are welcome; infant seats and prams are available. The kitchen is air-conditioned. Allow seven to eight hours door-to-door.
