3.Farm Tour with Cheese Tasting & Pizza Making Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 503 reviews

Spend four hours at Primaluce, a family farm in the Sorrento hills. Francesco and his family lead you through the crops, animals, vineyard, citrus grove, and olive area, then show you how to spin mozzarella and caciotta. You will make pizza, eat a farm lunch, and taste wine, limoncello, and seasonal produce.

“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!”
