3.Sorrento Half-Day Farm Experience: Pizza, Cheese Making and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $144

Francesco and his family lead a four-hour visit to Primaluce Farm above Sorrento. You’ll taste mozzarella, ricotta, olive oil, wine, limoncello, and lemonade, then make pizza in a wood-fired oven. Pickup is offered, vegan pizza is available, and the advertised group limit is 10.

“The hosts were great, very entertaining, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The food was good. Their story is beautiful. The house is warm and inviting, a true fun experience. Loved everything about it. This was our 1st time to Italy and we were so excited and ready to have fun! BUT.. Just for your reference don't forget anything you might need, cause you will make others wait if they have to go get it , which is extremely inconvenient and incredibly inconsiderate, it takes away from the tour. (We didnt-others did) I would definitely do this again!”
