Read MoreHead to southern Italy and the famed towns of Sorrento, Positano, Ravello, Amalfi, and Naples, and explore the cusine of the Campania region on an Amalfi Coast food tour and our cooking vacations on the Amalfi Coast. From fresh Mediterranean fare featuring local fish and produce, to the classic pizza Napoletana, your Amalfi Coast cooking vacations will feature hands-on cooking classes, visits of Pompeii and local cheese and wine producers, and hours spent exploring the towns along the coast. Join us in one of Italy’s most beautiful regions on our Amalfi Coast cooking vacations.
Considered by many the most spectacular stretch of scenery on the Mediterranean sea, the Amalfi Coast is an idyllic mix of vertical landscapes, stunning coastlines, and lush Mediterranean islands, and is an amazing place to take a relaxing and delicious Italy food tour. Enjoy the sun, flavors and relaxed lifestyle of such legendary places as Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento, Ravello, Sorrento, and Capri during your Amalfi Coast food tour with The International Kitchen. Whether you are traveling to the isle of Capri to experience the Blue Grotto, walking the stone paths of Pompeii, shopping the streets of Sorrento, or tasting homemade limoncello liqueur in Positano, our Amalfi Coast cooking vacations will offer you memories to last a lifetime.
On our Amalfi Coast food and wine tours you will learn the secrets of Mediterranean cuisine during your hands-on cooking classes and food and wine tastings, including home-made pastas, seafood from the local fishmonger, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, the tasty “limoncello” liqueur, and artisanal cheeses.
Our Amalfi Coast cooking vacations include:
Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Sicily, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, Lombardy, Lazio, Puglia, and the Veneto, are only a handful of the places where you can learn to cook in Italy. Italy’s 20 regions all offer amazing opportunities to learn regional and traditional Italian cuisine. Each region has its own pastas, sauces, main dishes and desserts, and you will learn to make them on our cooking courses in Italy.
Italians might fight to the death over the answer to this question! Many would say that the city of Bologna has the best food in Italy. It is definitely one of the culinary capitals of Italy, and Emilia Romagna, the region in which it is found, is known for its incredible wealth of gastronomic products such as prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, aceto balsamico di Modena, and pastas like tortellini, tagliatelle, and lasagne.
We think that each of Italy’s regions, however, has something truly unique and unforgettable to offer on our culinary vacations in Italy.
Most Italians would agree that Naples has the best pizza in Italy. Naples, the capital of the Campania region, is also the birthplace of pizza! The main ingredients of pizza also come from this region: fresh mozzarella cheese and San Marzano tomatoes, grown in the sun-drenched volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius.
