Set against the dramatic cliffs and sweeping views of Italy’s Campania coast, Casale Del Nonno offers more than just a cooking class—it delivers an authentic slice of Neapolitan culinary tradition within an unforgettable outdoor setting in Sorrento. This hands-on, four-hour experience begins with a stroll through the estate’s flourishing garden where fresh herbs and vegetables are grown. Guests gain insight into local ingredients that define Southern Italian cuisine before rolling up their sleeves to master pizza dough that has been carefully proofed for 12 hours.
Under the guidance of expert instructors, participants craft their own classic pizzas, choosing from time-honored favorites like Margherita’s simple harmony of tomato, mozzarella, and basil or the robust flavors of Marinara—garlic, tomato, oregano with no cheese. For those craving a vegetable twist, grilled vegetables top the third option, allowing each guest to personalize their pie. The process balances tradition with practical technique, illustrating why Neapolitan pizza is a UNESCO-recognized culinary art.
As the sun begins its descent over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the class pauses near the highest vantage point of the property where diners savor the pizzas they created, accompanied by regional wines and breathtaking sunset panoramas. This intimate dinner culminates the session, tying together local food culture, tangible outdoor connection, and the landscape’s natural beauty.
