“One of the best experiences! Loved the cooking class and garden tour. Kids loved it as well! They said it was their favorite part of our Italy trip!”
Private Pompeii ruins tour plus a hands-on fresh pasta class in a countryside garden with Vesuvius views and wine.
“This was a combo of a morning tour of Pompeii and a pasta making class with a local woman at her house. Our guide for Pompeii was Clelia, who did a very good job of taking us around to the highlights and explaining things clearly, as well as answering our questions. The tour was a little over 2 hours, though it might be a little less usually as one of our group had a foot injury so we went at a slower pace. We were picked up by Sabrina and brought to her house where she gave us a tour of the family gardens, which is where we got many…”
Handmade pasta lesson near Pompeii with an Italian mamma, plus wine and Vesuvius views. 4-hour class with shuttle and English guide.
“Absolutely stunning, one of the highlights of our trip. The chef and the staff were super friendly, we could spend days just talking about their stories and experiences. The garden, the kitchen, the whole area is magnificently calm and charming And the foods were delicious - those which we got as a souvenir and those which we made together as well. Fresh ingredients from the garden, lovely scents and flavours. If you're looking for a calm, relaxing, yet energizing experience for a small group, I couldn't recommend any better.”
A small-group Italian cooking class in Pompeii with a local mamma—homemade ravioli, wine, and Mount Vesuvius views in about 4 hours.
“This was a wonderful tour! Highly recommend! Guissepe(wonderfully friendly)driver called and then picked us up from our Pompei meeting point. We were given a short tour of the city before being dropped off with Sabrina and Pasquale for our cooking glass. We had olives/crackers/bruscetta/wine to start then started our class! We cooked the most delicious spinach and ricotta ravioli and then Limoncello Lemon cake for dessert. Our instructors were amazing, beautiful house and gardens. Our ingredients fresh out of their huge garden. Once again, highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!”

“We had a fabulous time learning to make and cook pasta with Sabrina. She is a wonderful hostess and a patient teacher! Her beautiful garden and home make a special backdrop for this activity. We will always have warm memories of Pompei after this experience!”
Make handmade pasta in a Pompeii home kitchen, starting in a garden with seasonal produce, then eating your creations as family.
“Had a wonderful experience. Step away from all the tourists and Into a peaceful family garden. We took our two children to do this class and they said it has been their favorite thing. Our host made us feel like family. We got to try several delicious things, make and eat pasta and cake and enjoy wine. This experience is a hidden gem.”
