Sorrento, perched on Italy’s Campanian coast, extends far beyond its legendary cliffs and sweeping sea views—offering a deeply rooted culinary culture that entwines with its outdoor charm. Tirabusciò Sorrento’s "Menu di terra" invites travelers to step into this flavorful heritage through a hands-on cooking experience that spotlights the freshest local ingredients. Taking place in the heart of Sorrento, this 3-hour class transforms traditional Italian recipes into a lived adventure.

The region is known for its vibrant Mediterranean produce, and the Menu di terra centers on tomatoes brimming with sunshine and the distinctive Sorrento treccia cheese, a braided mozzarella treasured locally. Participants engage directly with these ingredients, learning how to prepare classic dishes that hum with the flavors of the land. The session features tastings of rich olive oil and creamy mozzarella, followed by crafting homemade ravioli capresi and the slow-baked eggplant parmigiana—each step blending tactile food artistry with cultural storytelling.

Beyond the kitchen, Sorrento’s location provides a unique backdrop: limestone cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, while lemon groves and rolling hills frame the town. This cooking class serves as a gateway to understanding the region’s identity—linking landscape to table in a meaningful way. Tirabusciò Sorrento stands out by combining tradition with accessibility, perfect for all ages and skill levels, making it an outstanding complement to outdoor adventures like hiking the nearby Path of the Gods.
