Join Ferdinando and his family in the hills above the Amalfi Coast for a three-hour cooking class covering fresh mozzarella, handmade pasta, and tiramisu. You will cook, eat, and drink farm-produced wine in a relaxed home setting, but plan carefully for the long trip from Positano.

“We arrived after taking a beautiful ride up the mountains and I must say, IT WAS HEAVEN! Ferdinando and his family were so welcoming and fun. The cooking was very hands on and we all could not stop saying how amazing this experience was. We made pasta, fresh mozzarella and tiramisu. They served us wine and a few fresh starters from the garden. Do not think twice about booking this, you will not regret it! The property is surrounded by rolling hills, gardens and animals. Did I mention the views on the ride up? SPECTACULAR! My family will never forget this experience, worth every penny and more!”

2.Prepare fresh pasta, mozzarella and tiramisu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 315 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $78

At a family-run farmhouse in Pianillo above the Amalfi Coast, Valentino and Giovanni guide you through tiramisu, fresh mozzarella, and tagliatelle. You will eat what you make with homemade wine, organic ingredients, and views toward the coast. Allow extra time to reach the meeting point.

“Valentino and his son Giovanni were our hosts and teachers at their family farm where (at least four) generations of their family have lived and worked. Fourteen year old Giovanni was the star of the show, sharing his wit and the techniques he learned from his grandmother as a small boy. We made wonderful food, had nice wine, good company, and excellent, clear instruction. The farm and hotel near Agerola are off the beaten path and when our taxi cancelled on us, Valentino went above and beyond to drive us back to Ravello, stopping along the way for pictures at a vista overlooking Capri. We highly recommend this class with…”

Join Emily and her family at Barba Angela in Montepertuso for a 3.5-hour home cooking experience. Make two styles of gnocchi and tiramisù, then share bruschette, caprese, meatballs, wine, and limoncello in a cliffside home.

“This was the best experience we had throughout our time in Italy! Emily and her family were so welcoming and you could tell how much emotion and love they had for sharing their personal stories and history through food. The food was amazing and so much fun to learn how to make! We were nervous with the transportation to and from the class but Emily made it very easy by arranging a car for us to share with other guests so we all arrived together and on time! This was such a once in a lifetime experience with hosts that truly care about what they do and connect personally to…”

Join Emily, Genny, and their family in Montepertuso for a three-hour cooking class built around ravioli, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. You’ll pick produce from the garden, enjoy local appetizers and wine, hear family stories, and eat what you make, with Positano views from the home.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Emily, Gennaro and their Mum. Welcomed into their lovely home and treated like family. Emily shared her family and grandmother’s amazing history with us whilst providing lots of tips on how to create the perfect pasta. This resulted in a delicious lunch paired with wonderful wine and homemade limoncello. We also made tiramisu which is something I wouldn’t normally choose however this version was fabulous. Will be using the recipes provided to cook for family when we return home. Also the view from the family villa is magnificent. This is by far the best experience we’ve had on our holiday❤️.”

5.Hands-On Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Positano with Local Family

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $203

Spend about three hours cooking fresh pasta and tiramisu with a Cesarine host in a private home around Positano. Hosts may include Rocco and Carla, Antonio, Sergio, Rubina, or Valeria. Expect a small group, family-style meal, local wine, and possible travel to nearby Praiano.

“The host and the staff were terrific. However, the description of the course is completely deceiving. First, it wasn’t a pasta course but an into to Italian food. It is a nice opportunity to socialize with other tourists but NOT a hands on cooking course. For anyone interested in actual cooking experience this is NOT the class for you.”

6.Forage Herbs, Make Grandma’s Ravioli & Tiramisù w Our Family

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $76

Travel from Positano to Agerola for a hands-on farmhouse class with Pasquale and Rosanna. Pick herbs, make ravioli and tagliatelle from family recipes, prepare lemon tiramisù, and share your meal with wine, coffee, and farm products.

“Pascal (sp?) and his family were the most amazing hosts. He was patient with everyone and explained clearly each step in the Pasta making process. Everyone was involved and it was a fun, small group activity. We met some amazing people from all over the world. The final product was so delicious that I don't think that I will ever be able to eat store bought ravioli again. I feel competent enough to try my own pasta and sauce at home. Thank you so much for having us into your home and sharing your love of food, family and togetherness with us.”
