Sfusato Amalfitano PGI lemons have grown on terraces above the sea for centuries. This Amalfi cooking class combines a visit to a family lemon farm with a hands-on Campanian cooking workshop.
What you do
- Walk under the lemon pergolas and learn how terrace farming works.
- Make fresh pasta by hand (scialatielli, ravioli or gnocchi).
- A coastal sauce and a lemon dessert.
- Lunch with what you cooked, Campanian wine and homemade limoncello.
Who it is for
All levels, families with children, couples and groups. Vegetarian diets are no problem; tell us about allergies.
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes: farms have lots of steps.
- Enthusiasm for kneading.
Where
On farms in Amalfi, Minori, Maiori or the Sorrento hills, with optional transfer from Positano or Amalfi.
Best time
May to October; the trees carry fruit almost all year. A perfect plan for a choppy day at sea or to round off your sailing week.
Good to know
Classes usually start at 10:00 or 17:00, in small groups. Afterwards many guests take home a bottle of the farm’s limoncello. Arrive in good time: parking on the coast is difficult and the transfer avoids the hassle. It is one of the most loved experiences of any Amalfi stay.
