Sorrento Old Town Food & Limoncello Masterclass

Plunge into the sun-warmed cobblestone lanes of Sorrento's centro storico with a local food guide, tasting gnocchi alla sorrentina, buffalo mozzarella, and hand-pressed olive oil before mastering limoncello from grove to glass. Southern Italy's flavours at their most authentic.

What to expect

Begin in the vivid Mercato di Sorrento, where your guide navigates the stalls with the ease of a local, explaining seasonal produce and regional cured meats. Wind through Via San Cesareo's aromatic alleyways, pausing at a centuries-old pastificio for a freshly made gnocchi tasting with rich, slow-simmered tomato and fior di latte. A family-run limoncello distillery reveals the entire process — Sorrento's legendary sfusato lemons, cold-pressed zest, grain spirit — before you mix your own bottle to take home. Finish with a gelato from the old town's most revered gelateria.

Good to know

The tour operates entirely on foot within Sorrento's centro storico — no transport needed from the port tender pier. The full experience runs 3–4 hours, leaving plenty of time for independent exploration or a second outing. Book the private format for the most flexible pacing. Comfortable walking shoes are essential on the cobblestones.
