Operated by Dea in Cucina · Sorrento, Campania
Sorrento, a sun-soaked jewel on Italy’s Campanian coast, offers more than breathtaking sea views and vibrant culture—it’s also a gateway into Italy’s rich culinary traditions. At Dea in Cucina, located just outside downtown Sorrento, you can immerse yourself in an authentic cooking experience that captures the true spirit of this coastal region. Set in a rustic farmhouse perched on the hills overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, this private cooking class invites you to engage all your senses.
The day begins in the farmhouse’s thriving garden, where you handpick fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs, a vital first step that embodies the farm-to-table philosophy deeply ingrained in Sorrento’s cuisine. The presence of farm animals and the natural surroundings enhance the connection to the land, grounding this experience in local terroir.
Inside the old country kitchen, the lesson flows naturally—learning to craft a traditional appetizer, then expertly rolling fresh pasta, followed by preparing a classic dessert. The lesson isn’t just about recipes; it’s a hands-on passage into regional techniques and flavors, guided by expert instruction tailored just for you. Complementing the food are carefully selected water, wine, liquor, and coffee, rounding out the sensory palette.
Once the cooking concludes, you settle on the terrace—a perfect vantage point to absorb sweeping views of the Gulf as you taste your creations. This blend of nature, culture, and culinary mastery makes Dea in Cucina stand out in Sorrento’s outdoor recreation and travel offerings.
