Sorrento Walking and Tasting Tour

This cooking class was one of the highlights of my birthday trip on the Amalfi Coast. Chef Valentina welcomed us like family from the moment we walked in, guiding us through making homemade Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, a rich Eggplant Parmesan, and the most decadent Tiramisu — all from scratch. I have a gluten sensitivity, and she effortlessly accommodated it without my experience feeling any less authentic or special, which said everything about who she is as an instructor and host. Our experience was intimate and grounding as we learned recipes that have been passed down for generations, in the place where they originated. We sat down together afterward to eat what we’d made. Our cooked meal was accompanied with Caprese, Bruschetta, local wine, and Limoncello which somehow tasted even better knowing we prepared the dishes ourselves. If you want an authentic cooking experience in Sorrento that feels real instead of touristy, book Core ’e Pasta. Chef Valentina doesn’t just teach you to cook — she makes you feel like family. I left with new skills, a full heart, a full belly, and unforgettable memories.

Fantastic experience, excellent guide. Operation from pick up to drop off prompt and swift. For two hours our guide took us to the highlights of Pompei. Another bucket list item ticked off. We rate the tour 12/10.

Very pleasant experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Rosella was our guide and she was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and had a very bubbly personality. We also learned a lot. The tasting was perfect- just the right amount. They have a great gift shop.I would highly recommend this tour!

The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the area. It was a beautiful way to explore the Amalfi Coast.
