Perched in the Colli di Fontanelle hills outside Sorrento, this small-group farmhouse class condenses Campania’s kitchen traditions into a three-hour ritual: harvest from the plot, walk the olive groves, and work at bench and pan to turn regional produce into gnocchi, eggplant parmigiana and a classic tiramisu to finish.

THE HARVEST

Pick what you’ll plate

Participants gather fresh ingredients on-site, bringing the season’s produce straight from field to kitchen as part of the lesson.

THE TECHNIQUE

Hands-on regional dishes

The class focuses on authentic preparations—most notably making gnocchi and an eggplant parmigiana—taught in a cozy farmhouse setting.

THE TASTE

A shared farmhouse meal

After cooking, you sit to savor the results with local wine, limoncello and tiramisu—ending the workshop with the communal meal integral to Italian food culture.

What the day feels like

What the three hours feel like

The workshop moves deliberately from land to table: a short harvest and olive-grove stroll, then a session at a farmhouse kitchen where instructors lead you through dough and sauce, culminating in a shared meal of the dishes you helped make.
