Set against the sun-dappled hillsides of Sorrento, Casale Del Nonno offers a rare invitation to step inside the rhythms of traditional Italian country life with its Menu Terra culinary experience. This four-hour immersion begins with a detailed tour through the vibrant garden that supplies ingredients for the day’s feast, introducing you to fresh herbs and vegetables in their authentic setting. Here, you gain an intimate understanding of how local cultivation shapes Campania’s rich food culture.
The heart of the experience is a hands-on cooking class where participants craft a true Sunday meal from scratch, mastering regional specialties like Parmigiana di melanzane, Gnocchi alla sorrentina, and iconic Polpette napoletane. Skilled instructors foster a warm atmosphere that blends practical kitchen skills with cultural stories that have been passed down through generations.
As the meal takes form, the group ascends to one of the estate’s highest points to witness the sunset over the Bay of Naples, a captivating panorama that frames the culinary handiwork with breathtaking color and calm. The day winds down with a communal feast, allowing you to savor the flavors you’ve carefully prepared, paired with local wines if desired.
