3.Farm Tour with Cheese Tasting & Pizza Making Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 503 reviews

Sorrento farm tour with mozzarella spinning, pizza making, and a full farmhouse lunch with wine and limoncello, plus pickup.

“An absolutely brilliant activity! We were collected from the centre of Sorrento and driven up to the farm, the location is up on the hill, with the most beautiful views. From the second you meet Francesco you feel really welcomed. Walking through the farm, learning about all the things they do on the farm is really interesting. Francesco and his lovely wife and daughters are a huge part of this activity. We have travelled around Italy on this trip and we've done some really great things, but this is definitely by far my favourite and would highly recommend, if you are travelling to Sorrento! 5* from us!”

“We did the 1/2 day experience. It was absolutely amazing and have already recommended it to family who are going to Parma soon. Lisa (our Guide) knows her stuff and loves Parma very much. She is knowledgeable, personable, and very engaging. We would highly recommend this tour to others. Started at 930am, we were able to observe an actual Cheese Master in action, tasted the best cheese in my life, toured a ham factory - equally amazing, and then sampled some of the most amazing local meats. We left after that but many stayed on for the lunch and vinegar experience.”
