Amalfi Coast Cooking Classes

Where: farmhouse classes in Agerola and Pianillo above Amalfi, often with the farm’s own cows and a mozzarella lesson; classes with a chef in Amalfi town; home kitchens in Praiano and Ravello; sea-view terraces at hotels.
What you cook: fior di latte or mozzarella pulled by hand, fresh pasta such as scialatielli, a tomato or seafood sauce, and tiramisù or a lemon dessert, with wine.
Price and time: from about 125 euros for three hours; farm visits with lunch more; transfers vary, ask.
The farmhouse classes
Agerola sits on the Lattari plateau 600 metres above Amalfi, and its farms make the fior di latte that the whole coast uses. Classes here start in the dairy or the barn, some with the morning milking, and teach you to stretch and shape mozzarella before moving to pasta and gnocchi in the farmhouse kitchen. Lunch is what you made, with the farm’s wine. Pianillo and San Lazzaro, the hamlets around Agerola, host similar classes. These are the most distinctive on the coast and worth the transfer from Amalfi or Positano.
Classes in Amalfi, Praiano and Ravello
Amalfi town has chef-led classes near the centre for people staying there; Praiano, between Positano and Amalfi, has classes in family homes with sea views; Ravello adds a wine angle from the vineyards around it. All teach the coast’s repertoire, scialatielli, seafood, lemon desserts, and most run three hours with the meal.
Choosing
For the mozzarella, Agerola. For convenience from Amalfi, a class in town. For the view, Praiano or a hotel terrace. Positano and Sorrento have their own pages: Positano cooking classes and Sorrento cooking classes.

How we choose
We list only experiences with a strong rating over a meaningful number of reviews and free cancellation where available, and we favour small-group and family-run hosts. FindEatLocal earns a commission when you book through GetYourGuide or Viator links on this page; it doesn’t change the price you pay. More about how we choose.
What you make
Coast classes are generous and hands-on. You’ll typically make fresh pasta – hand-rolled or gnocchi for gnocchi alla sorrentina – and very often stretch your own mozzarella or fior di latte from the morning’s milk. Many finish with tiramisù and a batch of limoncello to take away (see how limoncello is made). A class nearly always ends with everyone eating what they cooked, paired with local wine and a view. For the dishes you’ll meet, see what to eat on the Amalfi Coast.
Farm classes vs cliffside kitchens
There are two flavours. Farm classes, up in the hills around Agerola, Furore and the Lattari mountains, are the most immersive – you meet the animals, make cheese from scratch, walk the lemon groves, and sit down to a long, multi-course farm lunch (often with transfers from Sorrento or Positano). Town classes in Positano, Amalfi and Sorrento are shorter and often have a sea view, ideal if you don’t want to leave the coast. Both are beginner-friendly.
How to choose, and tips
Decide farm or town first, then group or private. Farm classes are the full experience but take most of a day; town classes fit around the beach. Check whether transfers are included (the hill farms are hard to reach otherwise), and mention dietary needs – most adapt happily and vegetarian menus are common. Book well ahead in summer. It pairs beautifully with a boat day and a coastal wine tasting; see our Sorrento or Positano guide to pick a base.

FAQ about Amalfi Coast Cooking Classes
Frequently asked questions
How do I get to the Agerola farms?
Some classes include transfer from Amalfi or Positano; otherwise a taxi or the SITA bus up the mountain. Ask the operator before booking.
Is mozzarella-making really part of the class?
On the Agerola farm classes, yes; the curd is prepared and you stretch and shape it by hand. Elsewhere it is bought in.
What is scialatielli?
The coast’s own pasta: thick, short, irregular ribbons made with milk and herbs in the dough, served with seafood.
What do you make in an Amalfi Coast cooking class?
Usually fresh pasta or gnocchi and your own mozzarella, often with limoncello and tiramisù to finish - then you eat the meal you cooked with local wine. Farm classes may include making cheese from scratch.
Are the farm cooking classes worth it?
Yes, if you have the time - the hill farms around Agerola and Furore let you make cheese, walk the lemon groves and eat a long farm lunch, and most include transfers from Sorrento or Positano.
Where are the best Amalfi Coast cooking classes?
Positano and Sorrento for cliffside sea-view classes, and the farms above Agerola and Furore for the full farm-to-table experience. Choose by whether you want a quick class or a full day out.
