Food Tour: discover the best places where to taste the finest local food & wine

Shared Experience
Your experience

    We will visit my garden together, where I will tell you about the choice of vegetables and their seasonality. We will be able to harvest and cook them together, while I will teach you about the culture of Neapolitan cuisine using locally sourced ingredients.

    We will gather lemons from my orchard, and I will explain how to prepare a quality limoncello. You will taste the wine produced by my family and enjoy a wonderful view of Mount Vesuvius and the entire peninsula.

    I will teach you how to make lemon gelato using the fruits from my garden that we will harvest together, and I will explain how to use the peels to make excellent limoncello.

    She was a great host! From the start she welcomed us into her home with open arms. She have a nice demonstration on pasta then allowed us to make it. We would highly recommend her for parties as small as 2 and as big as 12! We hope to come back and have another class with her. She is very knowledgeable not only on pasta but Italy as a whole.

    My spouse and I took Alessandra’s private cooking class while visiting Sorrento, and it was the highlight of the entire trip! This was more than simply a cooking class, but was an authentic and entirely unforgettable experience, and we could not recommend it more. Alessandra first took us on a tour throughout Sorrento to collect some ingredients for the class, including the farmer’s market, a fish market, cheese shop, and bakery. We then went with her to her beautiful home up in the mountains, where we cooked fresh tagliatelle pasta with clam sauce, fried anchovies, a fried Italian sandwich, and a delicious tiramisu. She was the most gracious hostess, served us prosecco and wine, and truly making us feel like family! The views from her kitchen and terrace where we enjoyed our meal were absolutely breathtaking. Alessandra was responsive, adapting the meal plan to our preferences, and the effort she put into the whole afternoon made for an unbelievable experience. Not to mention, the cooking class itself was very informative and we learned many things regarding the meal, and beyond. She was thorough in her instructions, patient, kind, and generous, and she made sure to document the experience for us with pictures and videos so that we didn’t have to worry about that. If you are near Sorrento and looking for a cooking class (or rather, an entire cooking experience with a stunning view), you MUST sign up for the class with Alessandra. We did many amazing things during our 2-week trip to Italy and this experience was, hands down, the highlight of our entire trip. If we are able to make it back to Italy, Alessandra will be the first person we call! Take her class and you will not be disappointed.

    My husband and I brought our twin 18 year old grandsons to Italy and we all wanted to do a cooking class. What a blessing to have Alessandra as our chef! She picked us up at our apartment and gave us lovely views of the bay and landscape on our way up to her beautiful home. We felt so welcome and the views!! Wow. We had a prosecco and some snacks as she was telling us about the evening’s meal. We all absolute loved how she explained techniques and helped correct our mistakes. Everything was seamless and we sat down to our delicious meal with our tiramisu for dessert. I would tell everyone to do this - it was one of the more enjoyable things we did and much of it was because of Alessandra. Thank you so much!
